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. ### Related projects - slurm is related to pppstatus, curses network monitors, and terminal system-observation tools such as iftop, nload, bmon, and vnStat. ### Sources - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. -
