ipac (if you use ipchains) or ipac-ng (if using iptables). Then you can use the ipacsum command to generate a report. If you are only interested in the total traffic you could use something like: root@spiderwebs:~#ipacsum -t "this month" --filter "all" --fixed-quantity '' IP accounting summary Host: spiderwebs / Time created: 2002/10/28 11:10:42 CE Data from 2002/10/01 01:00:00 CE to 2002/10/28 11:10:42 CE total in all : 4317454231 total out all : 4328291196 With a bit of perl or awk it's not difficult to calculate whether this is below or above your 80% threshold and decide if an email should be sent. -- Tot ziens, Bart-Jan Vrielink -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
