Many thanks for the replies, James reply put me on the track, vnstat just
reads /proc/net/dev this give full stats for all up interfaces. All I need
to do is when ppp0 comes up is to start reading /proc/net/dev and feed it
to grep ppp0, extracting the transmit and recieve count will be trivial.
Flamming horrible weather must be making my brain freeze. Up here in NE Vic
we normall get frost mornings and sunny days. We have had lots of cloudy
days either drizzle (mostly) or rain top temperatures of between 7 and 10
degrees. To cold to do anything outside particularly in the machine shop.
My fitness program has gone completely to the dogs.........sigh......

There are always more commands to learn, it seems. Vnstat was new to me.

Or you could just run this config file with conky and have the info on
your desktop!
You would of course need to change the relevant interface to /dev/ppp0,
the file is currently set up for eth0 and wlan1, but that is simple to
change/add to as necessary.
