Isn't Nagios overkill for something like this?

Typing these just before powering down the PC would save the date and
the amount of traffic for that session in a text file:

date +%F >> net_traffic.txt
ifconfig | grep -m 1 "RX bytes" >> net_traffic.txt

But this is incredibly ugly. Maybe someone could post a better command,
and which file to put it in to have it executed automatically at
shutdown?
