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.
