- ECHOREPT -- Incoming echo traffic reporter for Gecho
- by Tom Almy, Fidonet 1:105/290, Internet tom.almy@tek.com
-
- ECHOREPT is a free program, which comes with source code in C. You
- may modify it, and do anything you want with it. Use it at your own
- risk.
-
- ECHOREPT is based on the program GMS, but is easier to use, and
- produces simpler output. I wrote it because I wanted reports on a
- revolving basis -- for example, the last 7 days rather than during the
- current week.
-
- To use, place ECHOREPT in your path, then run it as follows after every
- gecho toss:
-
- gecho toss
- echorept
-
- If you are using GMS at the same time, then use the following commands:
-
- gecho toss
- copy %fd%\summary.log temp.log
- gms <any gms arguments>
- copy temp.log %fd%\summary.log
- erase temp.log
- echorept
-
-
- ECHOREPT requires the correct setting of the GE environment variable.
- ECHOREPT creates and modifies a data file in the directory that it is
- run from. ECHOREPT is configured to handle up to three hundred echo
- areas, and deletes dropped areas after they have had no traffic in
- thirty days.
-
- To create reports, give the report file name(s) as arguments. There
- are four reports. If insufficient arguments are given, only those
- arguments provided will produce reports. To not produce a specific
- report, give the name "nul". Besides "nul", the names must be unique.
-
- echorept rep1.asc -- produce the first report as rep1.asc
- echorept rep1.asc rep2.asc rep3.asc rep4.asc -- produce all 4 reports
- echorept nul rep2.asc -- produce only the second report.
-
- The first report shows today's traffic, since last midnight.
-
- The second report shows traffic in the last seven days, and the totals for
- that period.
-
- The third report shows traffic in the last four weeks.
-
- The fourth report shows total traffic in 30 days.
-
-
- Enjoy!
