Limit CentOS bandwidth
| Posted by ryan14, 09-12-2009, 06:03 AM |
| If i have CentOS and Lighttpd, how can i set a bandwidth limit of 4TB per month, and once the limit is reached the server will automatically shut down?

| What i understand is that, lets suppose your eth0 is use for that purpose, you need to save its traffic in mysql and save in database and write a php script that will check if 4tb usage complete then shutdown the server, also put a check on monthly basis as well.

| Install vnstat.
Write a daily crontab that parses the vnstat output and checks how close it is to your 4TB.
If close/over, shutdown server.
Write monthly crontab to ensure vnstat resets at beginning of tracking period.
