POPULAR
The POPULAR utility is a statistics-gathering utility, and, as such,
can be easily viewed as your basic feeping creaturism. However, for those
of us who have somehow acquired that horrible taste for odd statistics
about how people use Citadel, it does serve some purpose.
POPULAR gathers statistics about the Public rooms on a system. These
statistics consist of simply calculating how many people have forgotten
each Public room on a system. Yes, a rather odd statistic to gather, but
there it is. Once it has finished processing the data, it displays the
results in tabular form, in (roughly) the following form:
<room name> <# of people who have forgotten this room> <% of total users>
To use this utility, simply make sure your data files are in their
normal drives, and run this program. The output of this program may be
redirected to a file via the ">" directive, although not all the
output will end up in the output file. Unimportant output will continue
to go to the screen; the important data will end up in the file you
designated.
There is one command line option available, "-M". If this option is on
the command line to Popular, it will also scan the message file, counting
the number of messages that originated in each room and performing AML
calculations on a per room basis, and display those values for each public
room in the same tabular format.
The rooms are displayed in descending order of how many people have
forgotten each room.
