+To run vnstat from cron, add the following line to your crontab:
+
+ 0-55/5 * * * * if [[ -x /usr/bin/vnstat && $(ls /var/lib/vnstat/ | wc -l) -ge 1 ]]; then /usr/bin/vnstat -u; fi
+
+To run vnstat from /etc/rc.d:
+ chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat
+
+Note that to have vnstat start automatically this way it should be
+called from rc.local (and optionally rc.local_shutdown) like so:
+
+ In rc.local:
+ # Start vnstat
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat start
+ fi
+
+ In rc.local_shutdown:
+ # Stop vnstat
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat stop
+ fi
