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. =)
