history
Project history and usage
slurm is a curses-based network load monitor for terminal users. It displays real-time traffic statistics and ASCII graphs for a selected network interface.
Project history
The official README says slurm began as a FreeBSD port of Gabriel Montenegro's Linux ppp link monitor `pppstatus`. Hendrik Scholz removed the PPP-specific and email-checking pieces to make it a generic network load monitor for BSD, Linux, HP-UX, and Solaris; the man page records early 2004 documentation history.
Adoption history
The supplied package metadata lists packages in Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora/dnf, MacPorts, Nix, Ubuntu, and zypper-related metadata. That broad distro footprint is typical of compact ncurses tools that system administrators can install quickly on many Unix-like systems.
How it is used
Typical use is `slurm -i eth0` or another interface name, with keyboard commands to switch graph modes, redraw, zero counters, or quit. The man page documents combined and split graph views plus interface, delay, and theme options.
Why package nerds care
slurm matters in package-manager culture as a small, portable terminal monitor: easy to package, low-dependency, useful over SSH, and old enough to show the persistence of ncurses utilities in modern package indexes.
Timeline
- 2004: Man page revision metadata records slurm documentation history.
- 2010: Upstream 0.3.3 imported in the official Git history.
- 2011: GitHub repository created.
- 2024: Man page dated February 4, 2024 in the upstream branch.
