Here's a PHP script that I use to give me long-term, month-to-month stats on total bandwidth usage, run from cron every 5 minutes:
#! /usr/bin/php -q <?
if (!$in=`/sbin/ifconfig -a eth0`) die ('Error: no input from ifconfig -a call'); $now=mktime(); # RX bytes:1294815560 (1234.8 Mb) TX bytes:3493560535 $match="/RX bytes:([0-9]+).*?TX bytes:([0-9]+)/"; if (!preg_match($match, $in, $r)) die ('Error - no matching for input from eth1'); if (!$fp=fopen("/var/log/traffic.log", 'a')) die ('Error - unable to open /var/log/traffic.log'); fwrite($fp, "$now RX: ".$r[1]." TX: ".$r[2]."\n"); fclose($fp);
?>
If you want some cheezy scripts to parse the resulting data file, I can help you there too. =)

Hey I was just curious if anyone knew of any scripts or command line
programs that are out there
that could be used to check bandwidth on a network.
