    Hi

    I have a Linux Server with Centos 5.2 installed, but the problem I have is that in the Datacenter where I rent my Linux Server they dont offer a panel where I can track exactly the bandwidth that the Server is using, I have been told to use MRTG to acomplish this also Cacti but those tools all they do is monitor the Bandwidth they dont tell me how much bandwidth the Server is using I need a tool to tell me how much bandwidth I use per day, week and month so that I dont go over my limit and end up paying more because I went over, does any one know what tool I can use to acomplish what I need ? thank you guys.

    get yourself cpanel if you can afford one, otherwise use lxadmin
    it's good enough for cpanel replacement

    lachrymologist thank you but I am not looking for any panel installation at this moment.

    tolra That is a great solution is exactly what I was looking for thank you very much.

    Also I have found this other one http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net/ witch also seems pretty good, hope this post helps people in the same situation I was this programs are just great for that purpose.
