[QUOTE="Davo64, post: 1547316, member: 314153"] Hi y'all. I am using the following script through Geektool: #!/bin/sh # Change this to en0 for an ethernet connection instead of airport INTF=en0 # get the current number of bytes in and bytes out sample1=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib -I $INTF | /usr/bin/awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`) # wait one second /bin/sleep 1 # get the number of bytes in and out one second later sample2=(`/usr/sbin/netstat -ib -I $INTF | /usr/bin/awk "/$INTF/"'{print $7" "$10; exit}'`) # find the difference between bytes in and out during that one second # and convert bytes to kilobytes results=(`/bin/echo "2k ${sample2[0]} ${sample1[0]} - 1024 / p" "${sample2[1]} ${sample1[1]} - 1024 / p" | /usr/bin/dc`) # print the results /usr/bin/printf "%.2f / %.2f \n" ${results[0]} ${results[1]} Works well (I cannibalised someone else's code, so it isn't mine). The problem I have is that is stops working if I use a proxy server (using MacProxy), and I can't see why it should. I get zero output, bit when I disconnect from the proxy server, all is well again and it resumes. At this point I am out of my depth. Any thoughts what changes I need to make to helpt it work through a proxy server? Davo [/QUOTE]
