Why I wrote it:
---------------
In August (1989) I decided I needed a way to keep track of how many
messages each person was posting. The problem was that RBBS 17.2B and earlier
don't keep track of this themselves, so I created Acumstat v1.0.
What Acumstat does is scan the callers log looking for the occurences of
certain words or phrases. When it finds these it adds up the number of times
a user has entered a message and creates a file of who uploaded what. When it
has checked the whole file it then creates a bulletin showing the user name,
# uploads, # download, #calls, # messages posted, and messages/call ratio.
How to set up Acumstat:
-----------------------
To use Acumstat you must create 2 file. The first is ACUMSTAT.DEF. This
file contains a list of all the callers logs you want processed with 1 log
name per line.
The second file is USERUTIL.DEF. The format for this file is:
<users file name>, <bulletin file name>, <callers print file name>, <upload
file name>. Where each of these is on it's own line.
How to use Acumstat:
--------------------
Acumstat is meant to be run once a day during your nightly maintenance.
At the time you run it you need to make sure that no one is on the board.
After it has run you then must blank out the callers files or the next day the
same messages will be counted again.
The command line for running it is:
ACUMSTAT ACUMSTAT.DEF #
where the "#" is the number of callers files you have listed in ACUMSTAT.DEF.
Update history:
