Re: Message Area - Daily stats tool

I found the filelist.js tool to generate daily file lists, and
that's great!

What is a daily file list? A list of all files on the BBS, every day?

Yes. Although it can be configured to only show _new_ files (which is typically how it is used).

I'm also after a similar script to generate summaries, e.g. daily, of new
messages in the different Message Areas.

I just pushed an update to exec/msglist.js, give that a try. It can now be run using jsexec to output message list (of a
single sub-board) to stdout with some of the same/similar options as filelist.js. Give that a shot and let me know how it
works for you. It should be easy for you to update too if you have ideas about how to make it better. --

Thanks for this, and for pointing me in the right direction.

I've made some changes and sent a merge request your way. It allows msglist.js to generate counts of the messages that hit the criteria (e.g. "new in last 2 days"), including for all groups that are on the system.

Typical output example:

DOVE-Net General 12
DOVE-Net Entertainment 4
DOVE-Net Debate 14
DOVE-Net Internet Discussion 8
DOVE-Net Synchronet Discussion 9
DOVE-Net Synchronet Sysops Only 6
DOVE-Net Synchronet Data 28
fsxNet fsxNet Test Arena 5
fsxNet General Chat + More.. 55
fsxNet Mystic BBS Support/Dev 2

All fairly rough at this point as I find my way around the codebase.

Thanks again,

Mewcenary.
