accounting
ACCOUNTING(1) SMPPPD ACCOUNTING(1)NAME
accounting - calculates statistics about your internet connections
DESCRIPTION
accounting is a simple program to calculate statistics about your internet dial-up connections that are started and stopped by either ifup
and ifdown or by a frontend to smpppd like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet.
OPTIONS
These options are recognized by accounting. If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory for the equivalent short
option also.
-l, --last=NUM
Only consider the last NUM connections.
-a, --after=DATE
Only consider connections started after DATE. DATE is a date with optional time in ISO 8601 format, e.g. `2002-12-24 20:15:00'.
Note that a date without time is treated as if the time is 00:00:00. Hence connections started on the specified date are consid-
ered.
-b, --before=DATE
Only consider connections started before DATE.
-u, --user=USER
Only consider connections started by user USER.
--this-year
Only consider connections started this year.
--last-year
Only consider connections started last year.
--this-month
Only consider connections started this month.
--last-month
Only consider connections started last month.
--this-week
Only consider connections started this week.
--last-week
Only consider connections started last week.
--today
Only consider connections started today.
--yesterday
Only consider connections started yesterday.
--per-year
Show summaries on a per year basis.
--per-month
Show summaries on a per month basis.
--per-week
Show summaries on a per week basis.
--per-day
Show summaries on a per day basis.
-c, --connections
Only list the connections but do not show provider statistics.
-p, --providers
Do not list the connections only show the provider statistics.
--connection-format=FORMAT
The names of the columns to print in the connection list. The names must be separated by a comma. Known column names are time,
type, provider, user, status, duration, rx, tx, rxtx, averx, avetx and averxtx. Each name may be appended by a colon and a number
indicating the width for the column, e.g. provider:25. The value will not be truncated if the width is too small.
--provider-format=FORMAT
The names of the columns to print in the provider list equivalent to the --connection-format option. Known column names are
provider, number, duration, rx, tx, rxtx, aveduration, averx, avetx and averxtx.
--local
Display all dates in local time. Also interpret dates on the command line in local time. This is the default.
--utc Display all dates in UTC. Also interpret dates on the command line in UTC.
--script[=STYLE]
Format output for script. Known styles are c and sh.
-f, --file=NAME
Use a different file with accounting information.
--report-errors
Report erros in the accounting file.
--version
Show program version and exit.
--help Show help information and exit.
NOTES
All informations are only obtained through the accounting log. Hence the informations, esp. the data volume, of currently active connec-
tions is not accurate. If you want the know the status of a connection, use ifstatus or a frontend to smpppd like cinternet , qinternet or
kinternet instead.
The user field is empty for connections started by a remote frontend of smpppd.
BUGS
Not yet implemented for ISDN (ippp).
FILES
/var/log/smpppd/accounting.log
File containing accounting information.
