Checking Speed test by command line Debian based servers.

Hello recently their has been some changes to a program i use to test out speed test related issues I decided to post the new information and code here to help others..

First off I create a script:

Code: [Select]

nano speedtestsetup.sh
Inside speedtestsetup.sh I put the following information:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py --no-check-certificate
chmod a+rx speedtest.py
mv speedtest.py /usr/local/bin/
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/speedtest.py
/usr/local/bin/speedtest.py
To run the speed test I create another script called speedtest.sh
Example

Code: [Select]

nano speedtest.shInside that script is the following information.

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/bin/speedtest.py
I hope this helps out some one else like it has helped me.. Good luck and remember speed test is not everything you really should do a MTR report to different points around the country to look for packet loss and other issues that can occur..
