ACCOUNTING(1) SMPPPD ACCOUNTING(1)NAMEaccounting - calculates statistics about your internet connections
DESCRIPTIONaccounting is a simple program to calculate statistics about your
internet dial-up connections that are started and stopped by either
ifup and ifdown or by a frontend to smpppd like cinternet , qinternet
or kinternet.
OPTIONS
These options are recognized by accounting. If a long option shows an
argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory for the equivalent short
option also.

Only consider the last NUM connections.
-a, --after=DATE
Only consider connections started after DATE. DATE is a date
with optional time in ISO 8601 format, e.g. `2002-12-24
20:15:00'.
Note that a date without time is treated as if the time is
00:00:00. Hence connections started on the specified date are
considered.

net instead.
