Hi @camoufl4g3

Sorry, mate, but I can’t figure out a thing form your screenshot (must be my laptop’s 15" screen). Could you post an imgur or sth link?

[root@test tecmint]# **python monitor.py**

Traceback (most recent call last):

sudo pip install netifaces

That’s great you’ve created the monitor script, but you should also show instructions for per-requisites for this monitoring tool… Now I am getting error like command ‘pip’ not found, I try to install pip on my Linux Mint, but giving error “Unable to locate package pip”. Finally I found a way to install pip and netifaces as suggested below.

 # sudo apt-get install python-pip
 # sudo pip install netifaces

After that I am still getting the error.

tecmint@tecmint ~ $ python monitor.py

@camoufl4g3,
I have written a similar script explicitly in Shell Scripting Language months ago. It has certain features like it can be installed and can be called from anywhere using command-line switches. The script has minimal installation requirement and can be extended to any length. Though the script is not very neat as of now, I will be working on it and extend it.

Download script as: wget http://tecmint.com/wp-content/scripts/tecmint_monitor.sh

@camoufl4g3
Thanks for your quick response, yes I was able run the script now without any error, here is the output of the script under my Linux Mint 17.1.

This is really an fundamental script for python script-kidding like me. Is there any way to automatically detect up-ing interface, because not alway ‘eth0’ is on UP.
