yesterday someone left something running and by the time I realized the problem we had used more than a gigabyte which doesn't sound like much if you have unlimited usage but we only get 17 gigs per month
this is the wrong package especially for mor than one user
This is the best package available from our ISP [Wildblue]. The basic package starts at 5 gb/30 days! It is a satellite system and they limit each user's usage. We live in a rural area where the alternative is dial-up which is too slow. Actually the 17 gb is sufficient even with all the users we have as long as they don't rune streaming data, video, audio, whatever. I restrict a number of sites in the router. This has been working for us for about five years.
I shut down the other computers but never identified which one had been causing the problem.
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:50:8D:B5:CC:DE inet Adresse:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3478872 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3449708 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:1000 RX bytes:1448170730 (1.3 GiB) TX bytes:807800503 (770.3 MiB) Interrupt:23 Basisadresse:0x8000
Can someone suggest a way of measuring usage per device, identifying them by address, MAC, or uuid? I really need to know which one is the offender to control the problem
i do not understand your "definition" of device and guess you mean program since you spoke about shutdown comouters, on the other hand you are speaking about AMC and addresses
Device = computer.
Sorry if I was not clear.
