in reply to Running speedtest-cli with Perl and cron

As NetWallah said, thanks for the speedtest-cli information.

I propose you another solution, even if not intended to measure the whole line speed but the speed of web access, and produces, if told, one line per access. At least you can compare results to further analyze your line degradation. You can find my WebTimeLoad0.23.pl here. You can use -v, -s and -c to bend it at your needs.

# -c --count how many times repeat the check. default is 1 # -s --sleep seconds between checks. default is 1. # -v --verbosity from 0 (one line output for each check) to 3. defa +ult 1 webTimeLoad23.pl -u www.perlmonks.org -v 0 -c 1000 -s 60 Fri Dec 12 10:15:46 2014 http://www.perlmonks.org 200 + 116076 2.335208 48.5419 Kb/s Fri Dec 12 10:16:48 2014 http://www.perlmonks.org 200 + 116076 1.913632 59.2358 Kb/s Fri Dec 12 10:17:50 2014 http://www.perlmonks.org 200 + 116076 1.798926 63.0129 Kb/s Fri Dec 12 10:18:52 2014 http://www.perlmonks.org 200 + 116316 1.816933 62.5174 Kb/s
