florinutz / speedterval

A VERY simple wrapper around speedtest to make it run in a loop

speedterval

speedtest at regular intervals

usage

First, you'll have to install speedtest the official way or using the unofficial ubuntu package:

sudo apt install speedtest-cli

Then you can actually use the tool:

git clone https://github.com/florinutz/speedterval.git
cd speedterval
chmod +x speedterval.sh
./speedterval.sh -h

Check download speed periodically

Syntax: speedterval.sh [-c|t|l|h]
options:
  -c <int>     Specifies the number of tests that should be performed. Default infinite.
  -t <time>     Delay between tests, in the format accepted by the sleep command. Defaults to 1m.
  -l <logPath>  Path to log results to. Default /dev/null
  -h            Print usage

Examples

This will perform 60 speedtests at 2 minutes apart from each other and log the results:

speedterval -c 60 -t 2m -l /var/log/speedtest.log

And this will run 3 tests with 1 minute in between:

speedterval -c 3
