Hi I will soon be opening a large file server and I wanted to have a script that could report back to my users live stats on the server load for the file.

Here is an example of what I want.

The main question is WHAT type of program are you going to be using to serve the files ? If it is an FTP server - and more specifically, if it is going to be PureFTPd, then there is a program already built to handle that:

The pure-ftpwho command provides real-time reports of who's doing what on the FTP server, including bandwidth usage. The result can be a full web page, and the program can also work like a standard CGI program, compatible with any web server. XML and text reports are also available, as well as a compact and easily parsable format for shell scripts.

With a little scripting of the results, you can quickly generate a graph showing how much of your available bandwidth is in use.

Code:

devel# /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpwho -c
Content-Type: text/html

<div id="ftp-status">
 <table summary="Pure-FTPd server status">
  <thead>
   <tr>
    <th scope="col">PID</th>
    <th scope="col">Account</th>
    <th scope="col">Time</th>
    <th scope="col">State</th>
    <th scope="col" abbr="File">File name</th>
    <th scope="col" abbr="Peer">Remote host</th>
    <th scope="col" abbr="Kb">Kbytes</th>
    <th scope="col" abbr="Local">Local host</th>
   </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
  </tbody>
 </table>
</div>
devel# /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpwho -v

+------+---------+-------+------+-------------------------------------------+
| PID  |  Login  |For/Spd| What |     File/Remote IP/Size(Kb)/Local IP      |
+------+---------+-------+------+-------------------------------------------+

devel#

Pure-FTPd is actively supported, and it was always designed with security in mind, and the code is always re-audited as new kind of vulnerabilities are discussed. Unlike other popular FTP servers, the number of root exploits found since the very first released version is zero.
