vnstat: how can I change the day of the month to track my internet usage?
My internet provider has put me on a 15 of the month billing cylcle.
I looked at the man pages. Couldn't find a way to change the cut off day on vnstat.
I would like my month to reset on the 15, not the first.
Other than that, vnstat works really well for me.
Thank you

How can I change the day of the month to track my internet usage?
Use the MonthRotate option in your configuration file, for example:
MonthRotate 15
MonthRotate
Day of month that months are expected to change. Usually set to 1 but
can be set to alternative values for example for tracking monthly
billed traffic where the billing period doesn't start on the first
day. Value range: 1..28 (vnstat and vnstatd only)
Source vnstat.conf - vnStat configuration file - Linux Man Pages (5)
Note:
Having been in contact by e-mail with vnstat's author, Teemu Toivola, it was revealed that [as I suspected/hoped for] the new setting to MonthRotate will not take effect on the same month that it was done; so I will definitely have to wait until June 10th [the following month] to confirm this feature of vnstat.
