I need to know how my usage statistics breakdown over the following hours on Murphx.

9am-6pm Mon-Fri

Evening 6pm - 2am and Weekend

Anybody know if that is possible?

Hi,

It's certainly possible if you write a Perl script to pull the data off the server.
Then you can process / plot it as you like.

I wrote a bash + Perl + gnuplot script to monitor my login times.
It runs on Linux and uses wget to login to my ADSL24 account and pull the uptime data.
Here are the results: http://pgg999.co.uk/stats/ADSL24.log.html

A pure Perl script running on Windows (using free ActivePerl) might be possible,
but I don't know if there is a Windows equivalent of wget.

You could format the data to roll into Excel as a csv file,
or plot it with gnuplot (free) which runs on Linux or Windows.

Food for thought....

Cheers,
Peter

PS - I have just seen that there is a "wget for Windows" http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm

Rereading your post I may have misunderstood it a bit - you can certainly check when you connected
to ADSL24. If you want to monitor how much data you transferred then they don't give any times.
What you could do is repeatedly get that data from ADSL24 and put your own timestamp on it.
Or alternatively you might be able to get the same data from your router, again adding your own
timestamps. I log a lot of data directly from my router, and just get the uptimes from ADSL24.

Thanks for the info Peter

As such it isn't important now, as I have my mac and am off to Zen.

I was going to AAIP, where those statistics would have helped to determine units required.

Sorry to have troubled you.
