MegaStat is a new statistic generator for use with the Spot
Fidonet pointing program.
MegaStat is a cross between EchoStat by Phil O'Malley and
AreaStat by Brian Jacobson, except with many more features
added.
MegaStat Features
o MegaStat has two ways of message sorting, one where by
Spot saves out every message, gaining more information
(Average message size, quote ratios etc.) but lacks in
speed. Alternatively MegaStat just scans the header is
much faster!
o Tables produced include:
* Writer Table
* Receiver Table
* Quote Blacklist Table
* Subjects Table
* Tearline Table
* Node Traffic Table
* Hourly Usage Graph
* Daily Usage Graph
o Ability to disable/enable any of the tables via config or
on every use of the script.
o Period of message scan for inclusion in the stat tables
can be selected from pre-defined menus
(Week/Fortnight/Month), alternatively the user can define
start and finish dates, or select for ALL the message to
be processed.
o "Multiple" stats allow you to select more than one area,
all treated as single area and a MegaStat message produced
for each one. Handy for those that produce stats for more
than one area!
o "Joint" stats allow you to select more than one area and
treat all the messages in these areas as one area (unlike
the Multiple Stat option) and provide a large combined
stat message.
o Usenet ":" quoting is treated identical to normal Fidonet
standard quoting (">").
o Has extensive command line options, making automation
easy. Want to use a cron program to create large stats for
your areas while in bed? MegaStat allows you to do this
with no user intervention at all!
o Logs are produced as a file and/or a message in Spot
depending on user preference. Use these to check if your
stat went according to how you wanted it, if you weren't
there.
o Config file for ease of use and full automation of certain
aspects of MegaStat.
o Plus many other advantages over other scripts such as
EchoStat and AreaStat...
