Thanks Grant, I have installed snmp and broadband-usage. It appears to work on a calendar month, and I am not sure how accurate the snmp reporting is on my consumer netgear. The fact it is in a hidden page you need to directly access rather than through the normal interface makes me believe its probably not great. Currently After leaving it going for 45mins I have no data, maybe it only gives an output after one day though. In the mean time I am continuing to try and fix my vnstat scripts to be aware of the peak time. If anyone else is good at scripting and wants to take a peek then they are at www.fxp.demon.co.uk/rdnm rdnmcron runs at 11:59 currently to take the days total rdnm is the main one to call for output. I figured it would need a separate cron job to get the 8am total from midnight, then log it (with date to check at 11:59) then deduct the 8am one from the 11:59 for peak/offpeak... Maybe, I'm just not good enough I think. I also asked on vnstat forums about a way to only log vnstat between 8am and midnight, I would lose offpeak amounts but at least have peak. No reply as yet and I don't think the new daemon system for it will do it, maybe again. -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
