Hi!

I want to have an easy way by SSH to check the current mbit upload / download on my DUO2. I don´t want to clutter the box or modify too much so are there any similar command to ifstat installed with the blackhole image (duo 2 box)?

Are there alternative ways to install commands like "apt-get" in bash?

Thank you for any help!

On OpenEmbedded, the package manager is opkg :)

Thanks for helping! I struggle a little though on finding a way to install a package. There are a bundle of options to do what I require; but does anyone know / can help me to install for example nload:

There are a bundle of options to test the bandwidth usage through SSH so hopefully someone can help me in finding something compatible on openembedded: nload, iftop, iptraf, nethogs, bmon, slurm, tcptrack, vnstat, bwm-ng, cbm, speedometer, pktstat, netwatch, trafshow, netload, ifstat, dstat and collectl all would do the job. Anyone?

Unfortunately I get this:

* pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for iptraf found, but incompatible with the architectures configured

* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package iptraf.

Tried to: scp it to /tmp and do: opkg install iptraf.ipk (renamed it before scp).
