Does anyone know a quick command I can use to add a time and date stamp to traceroute?
Traceroute-nanog. It may be hard to find the original source. Try looking for the debian package online, and on the right hand side of the website, there should be a source tarball. I tried finding the "aces.com" site where it's supposed to be available, but no such luck. I imaging the debian way is the way to go.
Man page for traceroute doesn't seem to have that option.
Or is there a similar traceroute-type app that does incorporate this function?
I need a quick app (nothing that generates a significant amount of network traffic) --where I can enter one command in terminal which will display a printout of a traceroute, to show the ISP or to show the tech in real-time when he comes out. The one I send the ISP needs the time/date in order to be effectively convincing to them. We're supposed to get 20,000 kb/s (up) here, and quite often, we're not, even with very low internet use in the PCs I'm running here. Even the download speed's choking... seems like something big right close is often are clogging the pipe. Traceroute I'm doing is only going from here to Cambridge.
I did install a couple of other traceroute-type apps (such as tcptraceroute) but their man pages didn't seem to show this capability either. I liked tcptraceroute because it has a "don't fragment" option. Would like to time/date-stamp that.
Thanks, Liz J
