nicstat - interface stats

Came across a nice tool for monitoring interface stats in realtime on Solaris via milek’s blog:

# nicstat - print network traffic, Kb/s read and written. Solaris 8+.
# “netstat -i” only gives a packet count, this program gives Kbytes.
#
# This Perl program uses the Sun::Solaris::Kstat library to fetch values.
#
# 07-Jan-2005, ver 0.92 (check for new versions, http://www.brendangregg.com)

Output looks like this:

Handy!
