I had a couple of requests, so here's some information about the stat program which runs the page at:http://siggy.iceonline.com/~ftp/ftpstat.html
You can download the source from:ftp://siggy.iceonline.com/pub/other/ftpstat.c
or
ftp://landfield.com/wu-ftpd/tools/ftpstat/ftpstat.cand a sample daily rotation of logs file (it's different than standard 'cause ftpstat builds up some internal stat lists which it saves as logs):
ftp://siggy.iceonline.com/pub/other/ftpdaily.sh
Okay, some info:
or
ftp://landfield.com/wu-ftpd/tools/ftpstat/ftpdaily.shThe program is public domain. You can whatever you want with it, including sell it if you think someone will buy it. I take no responsibility for anything done with it.
The program was never intended to cross platforms, so will probably require include massaging when it arrives on your system (unless you happen to be running IRIX).
Typing 'make ftpstat' (without a makefile required) should be all you need to do to make the binary. Before you do this, you should massage ftpstat.c so that your paths are correct (I recommend supplying paths away from anything important for testing in case something breaks, even though I can't see what would.)
Both the script and the program assume that ftpd will continue logging to the old file when the day ends for 24 hours and no more. I've received a fix for the script which fixes this with no problem and I'll probably update the sample shortly.
I run ftpstat hourly using the following line out of my crontab:
31 0,2-23 * * * /disk2/chrisb/tabs/ftpstatand the following line out of the root crontab:31 1 * * * /disk2/chrisb/tabs/ftpdailyAs you can see, the logs get rotated at 1:31 am each morning.If there is enough interest in this thing, I suppose it could be developed a considerable amount more... Currently I have no plans in this direction though.
