Good morning.
I live in an area (northern New Mexico) where the internet service is
decent during the day but falls off miserably during the evening when of
course everyone around me is using it.
However, the local provider (Windstream) insists on testing the download
speeds only during the day when I complain so of course the download
speed makes spec, during that time. During the day it is usually about
7 mbsec. That is only during the normal work week.
So, I downloaded and installed speedtest-cli. It runs well from the
command line. I would like to have it run every 10 or 15 minutes and
record the speed test in a file so that I can graph it. I would also
need the system time.
I am not literate enough in command line syntax or structure to program
this.
Does anyone know how to do this with speedtest-cli or can suggest
another program which can?
Oh, yes, I am running the current Lubuntu distro on an older Pentium IV
sony Vaio.
Thank you
