Ever wonder what traffic is eating up all your downloads?

If you have a linux server, you can install a couple of tools to do this.

I initially found vnstat - http://humdi.net/vnstat/ but it doesn't do per ip, so thats no good.

Next I found ntop - http://www.ntop.org/ but it looks quite complicated

I decided to use darkstat - http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkstat/

It was dead simple to install, has a built in web interface, and works a treat, and uses absolutely minimal cpu.

To check the permissions on an existing file, you can use the "stat" command like this:

stat -c "%a %n" fu

Which will give you the full permissions:

-bash-3.00$ stat -c "%a %n" full.pl
755 full.pl

Taps, Toilets, Hot water system all got installed today, but its been locked up, so no pics.

Will try to get some tomorrow.

The builder expects to be finished next Friday

Woohoo!
