#!/bin/sh # Script to get and/or check the Ethernet speed. Useful to be run by cron. # Copyright (C) 2013-2020 Vincent Lefevre # # It needs the "ethtool" and "ip" utilities. # # Use the -q option to avoid the error message when no UP Ethernet devices # are found and messages for devices with no Ethernet cable. Useful if the # machine is not always connected by Ethernet, to avoid spurious messages. # # You can provide an optional argument, such as 1000Mb/s (expected speed). # If the speed has this value, nothing will be output. This is useful to # check by cron that the Ethernet speed hasn't been reduced (e.g. because # of dust or a bad cable). # # All UP Ethernet devices (whose name matching the regexp in the code below) # are checked. # # Note: Monitoring tools can do a better job, noticing changes immediately. # But this utility is simpler to use and may still be useful. It should # also be less sensitive to temporary issues. # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License # as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 # of the License, or (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
