interface improvements? about wrtbwmon

[pyrovski]

Thanks! OpenWRT has decent real-time bandwidth monitoring, but they are very conscientious about adding background processes or cron jobs. I haven't taken this up with project yet, but I feel that having wrtbwmon around can solve the problem for many people.

1: I'll make the "awk" branch the default; the code is much cleaner.

2: I don't think I have time for this. If you want to do it or know someone who does, go right ahead.

3: That's probably fine, but depends on your router CPU and where you are storing the database and html file. I have a branch somewhere with autorefresh and per-host charts that I will upload soon.

thanks for your reply
I hope you could upload that branch soon :)

Check out the "experimental" branch. The wrtbwmon.sh functionality should be the same, but there's also a continuous.sh script that creates an in-memory time-series database of bandwidth measurements per host, and relays this to the user through CGI/JS. It has serious issues with the time-series data compaction, so don't trust the numbers yet.

Hey @pyrovski

2. are you planning to improve the design a bit? bootstrap? maybe integrate with luci interface as luci-app-wrtbwmon?

I created the luci-wrtbwmon which is a Luci Web UI module that uses wrtbwmon; it also has some additional features.

But I kinda need help creating an .ipk for it. I would appreciate it if you could help me a little bit on that part.

Thanks in advance!

IPKs are similar to Debian packages. If you can find a copy of the ipkg-build script somewhere, the rest boils down to placing the input files in a particular directory layout. Here's an overview (I haven't followed it myself). I'll take a look at your project when I have time. Thanks for contributing!

@Kiougar : looks like you figured out how to make an ipk :)
