🦋 pure-mrtginfo(8) — Pure-FTPd’s MRTG user-count bestie 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

pure-mrtginfo — okay so this is the little tool that provides an MRTG-graphable user count for ftpd. Iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pure-mrtginfo [server port]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

pure-mrtginfo counts the number of clients currently connected to ftpd(8) and outputs that in a format graphable by MRTG. Literally its whole vibe, bestie.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• server port — defaults to 21.

🧚 FILES 🧚

• /proc/net/tcp — used to count the connectiont to port 21.
• /proc/sys/kernel/hostname — used to get the fully qualified hostname.
• /proc/uptime — used to get the uptime.

🔥 MRTG 🔥

MRTG is a really nice package for graphing router traffic. Mrtg can also graph other information that’s available via SNMP or by running a program such as pure-mrtginfo. The author of this program uses it to graph CPU load, /var usage etc., and naturally the number of users connected to his FTP servers. For more information about MRTG, see http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/.

💀 BUGS 💀

This program only works on GNU/Linux systems yet. That’s the whole bug note, bestie.
