#netstat -I ln0 -z
This would set the ln0 interface counters to zero.

Re: How to clear counters on netstat

which version you are working at???
have you seen
man netstat

6. To set the ln0 interface counters to zero, enter:
# netstat -Iln0 -z
I am pasting lines from man page.
I do not system to check if it is working or not.But I suppose it should.

Re: How to clear counters on netstat

Hi Jeff,

According to the 5.1 netstat man page here:

http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51_HTML/MAN/MAN1/0253____.HTM

The command to reset interface ee0 would be:

# netstat -z -I ee0

Although the example (given earlier) does have the arguments the -z and -I arguments the other way round...

When it "doesn't work" what does it do ?

Cheers,

Rob

Re: How to clear counters on netstat

Hi guys,
I want to clear the counters on the Opkts, Oerrs and Coll when using the netstat -ni. Using that command doesnt zero in the counters.

tnx in advance.

Apparently (and consistent with "man
netstat"), "-z" clears the counters in the
"-s" report (which it also shows):

urtx# netstat -I tu0 -z

It seems to have no effect on the counts
shown in the plain "-i" (or "-I") report.

If there's a simple, convenient way to do
what you want, I don't know about it.

Around here (V5.1B-4):
