Can't wait for the Linux version
Ok well im miles behind everyone else on this one LOL - tho actually its not that hard with linux to keep any eye on how much ur using... heres my simple script that i've but into crontab to run @ 23:45 everyday...
# !/bin/bash
ifconfig eth1 | grep bytes >>/var/log/eth1stats
date >>/var/log/eth1stats
.............
and heres the stats it gives me
Sun May 30 23:45:01 BST 2004
RX bytes:1393327455 (1328.7 Mb) TX bytes:442042182 (421.5 Mb)
Sun May 30 23:45:01 BST 2004
RX bytes:1593764366 (1519.9 Mb) TX bytes:493246332 (470.3 Mb)
..............
the only bug i find is when it gets to about 4gigabytes it goes - beh - and resets the counters - this is cause of ifconfig tho.
But its a good adhoc way of keeping any eye on things :p
