Hey

on my site i show the amount of bytes uploaded and downloaded.

but the problem i face is this

the stats are taken from /proc/net/dev

well, they dont reset every month

and i want to show the monthly stats

so is there a way to reset them??? without restarting the server?

I need a way to reset them with no down time

Thanx

Heh that is funny approach. Maybe better thing would be to save the stats at the begining of every month and then use that number in your calculation.

thats what i was thinking of doing

saving the stats in flat files (since there is little data) and then deducting the data from the flat file, from the bandwidth in /proc/net/dev to give the new data

just thought it would be easier to reset them if possible
