Simple internet speed monitoring
Speedtestd is a small wrapper script around speedtest-cli to continuously monitor internet speed.
The script is written in portable POSIX shell.
By default it performs a speed test every 30 minutes and logs to files in /var/log.
This can be changed by editing the variables at the top of the file.
A simple systemd unit file is provided for ease of installation.
After installing speedtest-cli
and making speedtest available on the ${PATH}, one can install and run speedtestd like so:
cp speedtestd /usr/local/bin/speedtestd
cp speedtestd.service /etc/systemd/system/speedtestd.service
systemctl enable speedtestd
systemctl start speedtestd
