This is a real simple patch but I just don't have the time. This patch would impliment a function, "clear", that can clear certain parts of the ppp program. For example, PPP ON engulf> show ipcp [cut] Connect time: 94127 secs 51910598 octets in, 52787565 octets out overall 1111 bytes/sec currently 467 bytes/sec peak 15804 bytes/sec on (Now call me crazy, but that is one hell of a 56k connection...) PPP ON engulf> The function, would apear as this. PPP ON engulf> clear peak peak cleared (was 15804 bytes/sec established on ______) PPP ON engulf> show ipcp [cut] Connect time: 94128 secs 51910598 octets in, 52787565 octets out overall 1111 bytes/sec currently 467 bytes/sec peak 8 bytes/sec on (Now call me crazy, but that is one hell of a 56k connection...) Also, for vanity reasons, lets convert secs to minutes, hours, days, etc. Save the time it takes to do a quick bc. My second question, 56kbps is a large way of saying 7kBps, so how am I downloading 15.8kBps? P.S, clear all would clear the overall, currently, and peak. This function would involve setting the variable to null, in order for it to re-tally. ,-----------------------------------------------------------------. | //// "Anything I say represents only my opinion." | | (o o) / | | ,---ooO--(_)--Ooo---------------------------------------------, | | | BRANDON LOCKHART | | | `-------------------------------------------------------------' | | brandon.lockhart@usinternetworking.com brandon@engulf.net | | Work: (410) 897-4551 Pager: (888) xxx-xxxx | `-----------------------------------------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
