Hi Vince,

There is indeed a program that will compile for Linux that will give you
stats for JAM message bases. It is called Turquoise Staistics, is open
source under GPL2, and I will send it to you via 2:25/21. Filename is "turq22.rar". Works on eight message base types.

===
Turquoise SuperStat reads the contents of a Fidonet message area in one of its supported formats, or standard Usenet news spools, and creates statistics
about this:

* Quoter blacklist.
* Toplist of senders.
* Toplist of original content per message.
* Toplist of Fidonet nets (Fidonet only).
* Toplist of Internet topdomains.
* Toplist of receivers (Fidonet only).
* Toplist of subjects.
* Toplist of used software.
* Postings by weekday.
* Postings by time of day.

Any of the statistic subjects may be turned off. The statistics is stored in a text file.
===

I'll drop that file in your inbound. If there's issues, netmail me and I
can arrange an alternate method.

Thanks Sean, but I have v3.1 but it is not doing what I want.

Simply to provide totals for the month by area. What it does do is no where in a similar manner.


I just want to know basic stats per echo per month or possibly by year so far, for example I could ask it for monthly total for 2022 or 2023 to date so I can see what echos have what volume monthly or even yearly. The rest is of no interest.

This way I can match the figures given to Elist in the VOL param and is needed update the internal records OR more likely, see what areas have been dead for how long and then check with my Hub site and or remove them from the system
and notify existing downlinks of the figure etc.

Perhaps you could peruse the source code of TS and at least extract how to manipulate the JAM bases to get what you need? I know the STATS echo used to provide useful information. I have an external utility here for Squish that can work on a Squish log to extract various data points...or at least I used to...

Did consider that but TS uses a lot of routines that would need to be looked at
and my C is rusty to put it mildly.

True, I understand that. What did you write the elist stuff in?

Cobol so it could use a compiler that works for all platforms and archs.

That's one language I know precious little about unfortunately.

It uses English like language so is easy to read, take a look at the code in file elist.cbl.
