RE: [SQU] Bandwidth Usage Notification

Actually what I need is programmatic access to the current bandwidth usage.

The SNMP support provided by squid seems to be enough for what I need. My
server will poll the squid cache occasionally to see what the current usage
is. If it turns out that I need more frequent access or that I want a push
model where the squid cache notifies my I will look in to this again, but
for now I have a solution. Reading up on SNMP is my next task, from what I
can tell so far there might even be a way to get squid to send me a message
when certain conditions are met using SNMP.

Thanks,
Bill

What about some code to send a smb message assuming winpop is running.
