TimGraph & DayGraph
Version 2.41
Copyright (C) 1991-1993 Robert Presland
All rights reserved
INTRODUCTION
TimGraph and DayGraph will produce two Maximus-style .BBS files that show your
system's caller usage by days and by time respectively. The best way to
understand what I mean is to run it.
INSTALLATION
Simply run each of these utilities after a caller logs off your BBS. They
each require the LASTUSxx.BBS file so ensure that you don't delete it until
you have run both TimGraph and DayGraph.
USAGE
The command line for both DayGraph and TimGraph is as follows.
xxxGRAPH <lastusxx.bbs> <output_file> [data_file]
The <output_file> is the .BBS file that will be produced with your system's
stats in it. The .BBS extension is not assumed so be sure to specify the full
(path and) filename.
DayGraph has an extra option, /d<days>. If you specify /d10, then DayGraph
will only save the last 10 days worth of stats. If you don't specify any
/d value or specify an invalid number, then DayGraph will keep all the stats.
Note that this affects what gets written to the data file, not just what
gets displayed.
You can display these .BBS files to your users by adding a menu option in
MENUS.CTL like this.
Display_File \Max\Misc\DayGraph.Bbs Normal "DayGraph"
Display_File \Max\Misc\TimGraph.Bbs Normal "TimGraph"
If you have more than one line, and you wish to compile stats for each line
separately, you can also specify the name of the data file as the third
command line parameter.
RESETTING
To reset your stats, simple delete the data files for both TimGraph and/or
DayGraph and they will start a new data file on their own.
HOW DO THEY WORK
Both TimGraph and DayGraph read the LASTUSxx.BBS file to determine when the
user who just logged off, logged on. Then each will create a new .BBS file
with all the data in the data file as well as the new caller's data. They
will also rewrite the data file.
UPGRADING FROM 2.30 OR PRIOR
You must delete you old data files as they are not compatible.
HISTORY
2.41 Added /d for DayGraph. Screen out should be not overwrite DV windows.
2.40 Total rewrite from previous versions.
