IPtraf software

[DimGR]

i downloaded using apt-get install iptraf. I can start it using sudo iptraf from a console.
I enered it in the K menu and i get problems. At first i tried as name IPtraf and comment IPtraf but that did not work. Then for name i said IPtraf and for comment i said
/usr/sbin/su-to-root -c /usr/sbin/iptraf and that did not work either.

how can i get this to work

You could try creating a script that resides in a directory in your PATH (echo $PATH) something like


#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/su-to-root -c /usr/sbin/iptraf


or whatever command works at the commandline. Then make it executable

chmod +x <script>

and specify the script when adding to your K menu.
