I just recently upgraded to SuSE 7.0 and when running "netstat -i" discovered that I get a detailed vertical list of stats per interface. This is very nice, but "netstat -i" on every Unix platform I've ever seen gives a short summary table per interface. I could have sworn blind that netstat used to do this too. Can someone please confirm that this is not just my box. Cheers, John
I just tried it and got a listing that looks basically identical to ifconfig. Not used netstat much, so I am looking it up on the man pages... Matt On Mon, 5 Feb 2001, John wrote:

Ditto .. I was expecting something that looked similar to: Ipackets Ierrors Opackets Oerrors Collisions lo0 x x x x x eth0 x x x x x eth1 x x x x x .. but with more fields.

I've always used netstat -r to give me that table.

I used an earlier version that was included with RH 6.2, it gave me that table with netstat -i. Looks like they may have updated it (Alan Cox, not SuSE) so it does not show those values. Matt On Tue, 06 Feb 2001 01:28:32 James McBoyle wrote:

Judging from an earlier reply I'm one version short on the net-tools (1.56). The guy with 1.57 said it does the proper thing. I'd be pretty shocked if the behaviour of -i was changed just like that without any kind of (advanced) notification, or indeed any program like netstat, as it's quite likely to break peoples scripts.

I agree :-). Maybe I will find the newest versions of netstat and do a general upgrade. Talking about versions short, I noticed that the version of popper on SuSE 7.0 is old too. Matt On Tue, 6 Feb 2001, John McNulty wrote:

netstat -r gives you a list of the contents of the routing table, not the I/O packet table. John On Tue, 6 Feb 2001, James McBoyle wrote:
