DSTSEDIT
This utility is the Synchronet Daily Statistics Editor, which may be used to modify the binary file ctrl/dsts.dab
which contains your BBS's daily statistics. This file also contains some cumulative statistics (i.e. total logons and total time-on) and a time-stamp of the last time the file was updated by the BBS.
There is also a separate dsts.dab
file in each node
directory which stores the statistic
values for that individual node. This utility can be used to edit either of the two statistic file types: System or Node.
Usage
To edit your system's statistics, you can either run exec/dstsedit
with your Synchronet ctrl
directory as the current directory, or run exec/dstsedit
with the path of the Synchronet ctrl
directory as an argument.
# /sbbs/exec/dstsedit /sbbs/ctrl
To edit an individual node's statistics, you can either run exec/dstsedit
with the
node's directory as the current directory, or run exec/dstsedit
with the node's
directory as an argument.
# /sbbs/exec/dstsedit /sbbs/node1
When run with no command-line argument, exec/dstsedit
will attempt to edit the file named dsts.dab
in the directory specified by the SBBSCTRL
environmnet variable or in the current working directory.
The program is interactive with a simple menu/hotkey design. Use with caution and only Q
uit and save changes if you are sure of your modifications.
