I'll also see if I can get this to compile on Windows, and get you a copy of it.

Thanks, I hope to do the Linux thing soon.

Ok, so I tried to compile these programs on Windows, and the NetStat program will not compile, unless I rewrite most of the program to remove the dependencies for the DOS unit being included. If I can get rid of that unit, I wouldn't have to use the UNIX unit.

Both the Country Count and the BinkD Log programs compile just fine on Windows. (I was a bit surprised)

I did have a slight issue last night with the BinkD Log program. As it reads the log file from BinkD, and the config, I hadn't written the portion of the code to be able to go back x number of days, and account for month changes. So, when it ran, it was trying to read the log file for 0 Nov, instead of 31 Oct. I do have that corrected, but I'm still tweaking the inactive nodes section. Basically, I don't like the way it's working... :)

don't spend too much time on that, I can always pick it up when I am shifted over to Linux.

The Country Count won't do you any good without NetStats. They kinda work together...

I think I have it squashed. I rewrote the date function, and now have it reporting on the bottom, for each of the inactive nodes. Below is an example report for the last ~2 hours.

Hi Dan

On 29 Oct 2020 at 02:26a, RCS Statkeeper pondered and said...

0.39% AR * 1
1 0.39% CA * 1

I have fixed these two in the nodelist at my end.

Some suggestions

Perhaps the tool could take the country code but also print the full name alongside - some countries are easier to figure out than others.

Not sure the ***** lines across are needed as they only really show scale for the first 4-6 entries then the rest are all so small in numbers it renders
the horizontal bar chart not very useful.

What causes this entry?

0.39% AnyCountry *

Best, Paul

I was already thinking about doing that. I figured once everything was uniform I could work on implementing it. :)

Yep :) I think it would be a helpful addition. Thanks for looking into it.

Yeah... When I added that, I thought there would be more listings with more nodes. I can probably remove that.

Up to you of course but I don't think it ads much value as the quantities are already being reported numerically.

0.39% AnyCountry *

That is from node 21:1/999. In my test copy of the nodelist, I had just added the 'XXX' to the end of that field, so it was ,AnyCountry_XXX, in the nodelist. I'm not sure if you have another idea as to what to do
with that entry, but that was my thought...

Hmm yeah in my ctl /999 has New_System,AnyTown_AnyCountry,New_Sysop but it's also set as a PVT node etc.

I would think add options to manually exclude some stuff and this is one
I suggest leave it out... it's there just for sign-up/joining reasons only.

I've also been doing a bit of work with the BinkD report. Right now, it's displaying the nodes listed in the binkd.cfg file that do not have any connections for that time frame.

Saw that and thought Oooo... :)

Also noted 3/100 was there listed which seemed strange.

What I have been trying to incorporate, is figuring out how many days
it's been since they have connected. I ran into some issues, and erased about 50 lines of code. I'll restart that venture tomorrow. :)

sorry to hear that, hopefully the coming days will be kinder to you.

Ok, so I have it removing that entry. I have also added a check to
remove any 'country code' that is only 2 characters. In the latest nodelist, there was still the two with 2 char.

I think they were in your segment, but I have changed them both now.

I have also removed the graph, as it was a bit redundant, and really didn't show how I had wanted it to.

Good move, I agree.

listed twice. I have added a check for 'GER', and change it to 'DEU',
but I don't have it adding them together. I figure it will be corrected soon anyway. :)

Thanks yep changing GER to DEU now...

Canada 25 9.80%

suggest also print the nodelist file name etc. this is being generated from.

Germany 1 0.39%
Slovakia 1 0.39%
Greece 1 0.39%

Looking good Dan... I'd like to include this report as a TXT file along with the nodelist output as a TXT file in the infopack

Would be quite keen to post this to the website each time as it's updated
also.
