Check the docs and look a the sample files.  There are examples for calling
an external program from radius on receipt of a packet.

Most of us process the logs later... I summarize mine in a
Sybase database, but any SQL database (MySQL...)
will work just find, and makes reporting and math a breeze.

You can do real-timish stuff as well, I find my lazy approach
works well for us..

writting accounting script

[Daniel Yeung]

Hi All

I have a task in office to write radius accounting script.
It is possible to call an external program in file /etc/raddb/acct_users.
How the radius pass the accounting packet to the external program ?
Authentication packet is passed as variable %s %u ...
any idea ?


Thanks you very much.
