Help with executing accounting!

[Mohamed Abdulla]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using the FreeRadius from 
freeradius.net, and I am using it on windows. I did not know it makes so 
much a big difference! What Ipoque has implemented is indeed not a full 
RADIUS implementation, but it can understand that Accounting Request sent to 
it to extract the user data and traffic class before it applies the 
configured rules of user traffic treatment. When I manually use radclient to 
send the accounting request to ipoque (I fill a text file with sample data 
of one user and use that with radclient), everything successfully works. 
Then I wanted to do the same on the fly, where depending on the User-Name 
and the fact that the user successfully authenticates, the radclient will 
populate the Accounting Request data using that User-Name and the configured 
attribute in the "users" file. I was hoping I could find similar script 
which does the same or close to it. But I guess as Alan DeKok has 
highlighted, I have to go through the scripts and Exec-Program-Wait pages 
and try to find a way to do it as radclient doe not expand variables like 
%{}. Is the 1.1.7 version, windows port supported here? Where can I find the 
suggested scripts/exec-program-wait example?
