  • Decent door usage util

    From Todd Yatzook@1:142/799 to All on Sat Nov 15 03:29:11 2014
    Hey peeps. So I'm going to attempt to code my own door usage util in a few days, and I don't think I'll have much of an issue, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent one that I'd be able to run. The few I've found were decent but needed to be registered and were probably abandoned, or the newest one I found was useless to me since I run Mystic Win32 that needs an external fossil driver, and this util read the BBS logs (which turned up mostly the external fossil).

    So hopefully one that would give door name (obviously), time spent in each
    door each week, month, and total. If not, it's okay, writing my own could be fun and if it's decent enough I'll release it to anyone that wants it.

    i can think of several ways to do it...

    1. echo the data to a log from the bat file that launches the door

    2. write a mpl and execute it just before and after the door launch in the menu

    3. write a mpl that is used to launch all your doors and let it log the data


    multinode doors that allow multiple users in them at the same time will be fun to handle since their usage time can exceed the time period of the report... might be able to keep up with them by using the node in the data, too...

    the data file can be a simple text file that is parsed by another tool or you could keep a running count if you write it as a launcher that all your doors are executed from...

    we can talk more about it in the MYSTIC echo if you like ;)
