Gnome-ppp_logger is a utility that logs internet usage time when connected through the gnome-ppp utility. It helps keep track of the amount of time spent on the internet.
With the gnome-ppp_logger, you do not have to worry about being shocked when you receive your phone bill. The software serves as a reminder of the amount of time you have spent online, which can be displayed and saved upon disconnection.
To use this software, you need to have several requirements, including GNU glibc, gnome-ppp, and a c++ compiler. The installation process is straightforward and consists of running 'make' and 'make install.'
An exciting feature of gnome-ppp_logger is the ability to adapt the program to the X environment by creating a shortcut on the desktop. Make sure to check the "start in terminal" checkbox for the best experience.
When you have successfully installed the program, you can run 'gppp_logger' from your console to start the program. Choose alternative '1' to connect to the Internet with gnome-ppp. Once you have completed your online activity, disconnect as usual, and the amount of time spent online will be displayed and saved.
To read your log, select option '2,' and to erase the log, choose option '3.' You might want to erase the log every month, but do remember to save it first by choosing option '4.' This will create the file /usr/local/gnome-ppp_logger/online.log and will allow you to keep track of your online time.
Overall, gnome-ppp_logger is a useful program to keep a record of your internet activity and prevent any unexpected bill shocks, making it an essential tool for anyone concerned about their internet usage.
