What is a decent tool I can use on a ubuntu server command line to measure my network bandwidth on that machine to see if I'm saturating the network card or not? I have a crawler running on a box and I'm not sure how to best monitor if I need to add more boxes or not. thanks | |||

Command line wise, iptraf is one of my favorite tools for a quick login&check method, and should give you a quick idea of what your current speeds are as well as what the box is doing. Its not command line, but for more long term monitoring, I would suggest SNMP monitoring. Cacti+snmp works very well to get constant information from your server, and creates up nice little graphs for you to see how your bandwidth is doing. | |||
