  An Introduction to Tiger Terminal, Part 3

In the first page, this paragraph:
To see how many packets are moving through my active 

network interface (my Airport card, in this case) and how 

many errors are occurring, I'd run netstat -I en1 -w 5 

where -I en1 indicates my active interface and -w 5 tells 

netstat to update ("wait") the display every five seconds. 

You can quit the command by using the key combination, 

control-Z (^Z):

That will merely suspend the job, as the screen shot shows,
which means its going to sit in the background until the
terminal app is closed. A more appropriate quit command
is control-C.


Also, as for Thrint's comment about ifconfig's output being
in "hex": the only thing in "hex" is the MAC address of the
interfaces and the netmasks. The rest is plain english
(well, maybe not plain).

    Thanks for the input!
    With your moniker (hexghost) you may be better qualified to answer Thrint's question!
