ppplog

ppplog is a tiny tool to do simple accounting of ppp-connections on Debian GNU/Linux systems. Of course there is kppp and other tools, but these are not usabel from the commandline and are not working well with the standard debian-setup for ppp.

ppplog works with pppd 2.4 (lower versions have not been tested, but It should work with 2.3 too).

* a line for every connections with connected time, grouped by days
* optional transfer-volume (option --transfer) in human readable format (1K=1024)
* sum for every provider (does not work for pre 2.4 pppds)
* total sum of all connections

* Bugs:
* very unspecific error-message if "parsing" failes (I'm using scanf)
* ambiguous output for connections that have lastet longer than 24h
* probably a lot more I even don't know about

* Download:
* ppplog 1.0 · Debian-sources: ppplog_1.0.orig.tar.gz ppplog_1.0-1.dsc ppplog_1.0-1.diff.gz
