[HACK] vnStat dropped support for combined interfaces. Alternatives?

Hello all,

vnStat has apparently dropped support for combined interfaces, so no more

-i eth0+wlo1

syntax to get merged traffic data.

Does anyone know of any alternatives to get combined traffic data from multiple interfaces?

This would be used to measure traffic from e.g. a laptop which can get both wired and wireless connections.

Thanks.

#!/bin/bash
traf1=$(vnstat -i $1 --oneline b | awk -F\; '{print $6}')
traf2=$(vnstat -i $2 --oneline b | awk -F\; '{print $6}')
numfmt --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 $(($traf1 + $traf2))
