is there a way to run a bandwidth monitor on the console?  something like bmon, instead of blanking the screen?  I'm using an old laptop with 2 eth ports as my m0n0wall and would like to see whats going on without logging to the system.

I hate to bump my own article but,  no one?  i cant be the only one thats looking for something like this.

you must be :-)

it would add 111k to the image, this is probably too much until the file system changes, as the FS get's loaded into RAM and some of the older boxes people use won't have that ram to spare for this utility ...

You could added it to an image your self though ....

That should be as simple as compliling it, mounting the image in its own tree and copying it and then syncing it.   I havent had much experience in modifing images before. 
[EDIT] and changing the screensaver module from blank to ..... \...... \ ....bmon [/EDIT]

it's not too hard , use the workon.sh script , which opens the image for changes, then closes it when done.  when you have it open, copy in bmon and modify the console php page to give you an option to run bmon.

bmon will need to be compiled in ports without DBI support or RRD support

thanks a ton!   

Ive been trying to do this, and i didnt succed   i killed the image.   HELP!

I think I'm going to have to give this up.  Oh well,  thanks for trying guys.   

Code:

fbsd64# cd /usr/ports/net/bmon/
fbsd64# make

choose option to build with out DBI

check it works

Code:

fbsd64# ./work/bmon-2.1.0/src/bmon

get workon.sh and image

Code:

fbsd64#cd /tmp
fbsd64#wget http://chrisbuechler.com/m0n0wall/downloads/workon.sh
fbsd64#wget http://m0n0wall.jpcompserv.net/generic-pc-1.32.img

open the image

Code:

fbsd64# bash workon.sh generic-pc-1.32.img

put bmon in the image

Code:

[root@fbsd64 /tmp/mnt2]# cp /usr/ports/net/bmon/work/bmon-2.1.0/src/bmon usr/local/sbin/

now you need to edit etc/rc.initial to add the option to run it from console etc. 

when finished exit  and now your image is closed and modified.

Code:

[root@fbsd64 /tmp/mnt2]# exit
exit
fbsd64#

thakn you   i will try that today

almost have it working.  it compiles and runs fine in bsd, but its missing a library on the m0n0wall.   working on it.   /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libm.so.5" not found, required by "bmon"

OK!!! I've gotten it working, just one small thing.......  i can view details and the main screen, but when i try to put it into G for graphics, it tells me to increase screen size for graphics mode.  is there anyway i can change the default console from what appears to be 720x480 or 80x25char to something bigger?

Never Mind!  I got it!  I thank all of you for your help!
