Hello.
I am trying to create an accounting daemon that would be more precise

I am trying to create a daemon that would report system accounting stats
for every X seconds, let's say 10. 'sa' reports about terminated
processes only, but it would be nice to have more detailed system usage
stats per user for a given time interval (i.e. last 10 seconds),

U can use ipfw+ipa+mrtg
Can visit http://www.kruijff.org/ but for moment, probably, the author

Idea is that ipa read count traffic from ipfw rules, wich can be read
