RAD_COUNTER(1)

✨ rad_counter — the manual bestie 💖

ok so you found rad_counter, which lives in section 1 of the FreeRADIUS Daemon manual, and honestly? she's a lil vintage. still cute tho. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

rad_counter — query and maintain the FreeRADIUS rlm_counter DB file. 💅

okay bestie, real talk first: this tool is deprecated. it's giving "still works but nobody's texting it back". use it if you must, but know the vibes. 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rad_counter [--file counter_filename] [--user username] [--match
<regex>] [--reset number] [--help] [--hours|--minutes|--seconds]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

rad_counter is a tool that can query and maintain the FreeRADIUS rlm_counter DB files. that's literally her whole personality. she reads the counter DB, she tells you stuff about it, and if you want, she'll reset a counter for you. main character energy, lowkey. 🫶

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --file= — the Counter DB filename. this is the file she's gonna look at, so like… point her at the right one bestie. 📁
• --user= username — info for a specific user. just the one. her, specifically. 💜
• --match= <regex> — info for users matching that regex. a whole little friend group, not just one. 🌈
• --reset= number — reset the counter to <number>. here's the tea: if a divisor is set, it uses that, and otherwise <number> means seconds. so like, know which one you're in, okay? ⏱️
• --help — show the help screen. when in doubt, ask her to explain herself. 🧚
• --(hours | minutes | seconds) — specify the information divisor. pick one, pick your unit, slay. ⭐

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• radiusd(8) — her older sibling. go say hi. 🫶
