d/l count program needed ...
Hi all... Is there a way (program?) to find out how much I d/l each night? I need to know how many kb of email, web surfing etc I do each night. (Am I making sense?)

If you want to find out what the internet connections totals are and are using kppp, you can use kppp logviewer as it records every single Internet connection. Unfortunately though it does not differentiate between email and web surfing.

well... there are options, depends on how specific and/or what programs... for network utilization, mrtg is a good one. if you question is truely is as basic as you might be asking. http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ someone already sayed ntop... this will break the traffic down a lot more... http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html sendmail has a stats package... (sendmail.cf names this file. ex: /etc/mail/sendmail.st) (a simple script to copy the old stats off and zero out the stats file) hmm... i am sure there are things lost in my brain that might be triggered by the specific nature of the bandwidth to be watched. you could do something even more complex for web, like setting up squid and running through that... then sourceforge has a stats package, and there are a few others that run on the logs... just depends on why you are trying to get this info, how important it is, and thus how much time and effort you want to put into getting this information. -- ray http://www.redrum.org rcanfiel@blade.redrum.org "UNIX _IS_ user friendly, its just picky about who its friends are."
Hi Ray et al... What the deal is I'm thinking about getting DSL. Here in Germany they charge by the mb that you d/l per month. For example, 10,000 mb or less costs 14.95€. Before I spend the money to upgrade my telephone and get locked into a contract with someone I want to know about how many mbs I use per month. I don't really care if it's from email or d/l'ing the newest SuSE. I just need a total number. What do you guys think? Thanks, JIM On Wednesday 08 September 2004 20:16, ray canfield wrote:

Please do not top post and full quote under. Thanks Look at 'iptraf'. Small, command-line and will furnish the numbers you are looking for. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
