- LOGGER.EXE
- Ron Bergeron
-
- LOGGER was written for sysops who are using the built-in file transfer
- functions of QuickBBS version 2.75 and 2.66. It may also work with
- earlier versions, but I haven't tried it. It will examine your
- system.log and create seperate upload and download log files. It will
- also "touch" the file dates of uploads made with ZModem if desired.
- QuickBBS does not do this on its own.
-
- The log files contain the following information: date, baud rate,
- protocol, file path and name, and username.
-
- example:
-
-
- 13-Aug-91 2400-Z d:\qbbs\qnew\LOGGER.ZIP - Ron Bergeron
- | | | | |
- | | | | user name
- | | | |
- | | | +--------- file path & name
- | | |
- | | +------------------- protocol Z = ZModem
- | | X = Xmodem
- | | S = Sealink
- | | Y = Ymodem
- | | G = Ymodem-G
- | | 1 = Xmodem-1K
- | |
- | +------------------------------- baud rate
- |
- +-------------------------------- date of transfer
-
-
- syntax: LOGGER upload_log download_log <touch>
-
- "upload_log" is any valid DOS path and filename where you want the
- upload log information stored.
-
- "download_log" is any valid DOS path and filename where you want the
- download log information stored.
-
- "touch" is an optional command line parameter. If you include it on the
- command line, LOGGER will set the time and date of any files uploaded
- with ZModem to the current system time and date.
-
-
- example call:
-
- LOGGER !UPLOAD.LOG !DWNLOAD.LOG TOUCH
-
- This will cause LOGGER to store any upload information in the system.log
- to the file "!UPLOAD.LOG". Any download information will be stored in
- the file "!DWNLOAD.LOG". LOGGER will also "touch" the file date and
- time of any file uploaded with ZModem.
-
-
- **** IMPORTANT ****
-
- In order for LOGGER to operate correctly, it MUST be run every time a
- user logs off the bbs. LOGGER is very fast, so it won't slow things down
- very much. On my 10 Mhz AT, it only takes about 3 seconds even if my
- system.log is over 120K long. I don't normally let my system.log get
- that large, so LOGGER usually takes well under 1 second to run.
-
-
- I wrote this program because, after using FileDoor for over a year, I
- liked having the seperate upload and download log files. Also, I liked
- the fact that FileDoor would "touch" the dates and times. I was
- disappointed to see that QuickBBS did not do that. The reasons why it
- doesn't are valid, but I wanted all new files on my bbs to be shown when
- a user did a type 37 new files search. That wouldn't happen if the file
- kept its original file date.
-
- If you have any questions or comments about this program, please feel
- free to contact me. Also, if you use the program, I'd appreciate it if
- you'd let me know. I'd just like to know if my efforts helped anyone
- other than myself. This program is "callware". If you use it, give me
- a call to let me know what you think of it.
