Conditional statements in dialup.conf?

[James Wood]

Thanks for the reply Alan. I understand the correct place to put it now.

Is there a reason you are setting a new variable and then assigning that to the next update request?

Would this not work?

if (Mikrotik-Host-IP) {
                update request {
                        Acct-Input-Octets = "%{Acct-Output-Octets}"
                        Acct-Output-Octets = "%{Acct-Input-Octets}"
                }
        }

Thanks,

James

  OK.

  So... fix the values *before* you put them into SQL.

  That is completely backwards.  Don't fix the columns.  Fix the
accounting packet in the "preacct" section:


	if (Mikrotik-Host-IP) {
		update request {
			Tmp-Integer-0 := "%{Acct-Input-Octets}
			Tmp-Integer-1 := "%{Acct-Output-Octets}

		}

		update request {
			Acct-Input-Octets = "%{Tmp-Integer-0}"
			Acct-Output-Octets = "%{Tmp-Integer-01}"
		}
	}

  It doesn't.  See "man unlang".  The documentation says where you can
put conditions.
