NAME

6       tally.control - Keep track of newsgroup creations and deletions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tally.control < logfile
10

DESCRIPTION

12       tally.control is normally daily invoked by scanlogs.  It reads its
13       standard input, which should be the newgroup.log and rmgroup.log
14       control log files.  They contain a summary line describing the control
15       message and the action taken by controlchan, followed by the article
16       indented by four spaces, and a blank line.  Then, tally.control updates
17       the cumulative list of newsgroup creations and deletions which is kept
18       in control.log.
19
20       All these log files reside in the pathlog directory set in inn.conf.
21       In order to generate them, you need to enable control articles logging
22       in control.ctl(5), as explained in the control.log entry of newslog(5).

FILES

25       pathbin/tally.control
26           The Shell script itself used to tally newsgroup creations and
27           deletions up.
28
29       pathlog/control.log
30           This file maintains a count of the number of newgroup and rmgroup
31           control messages seen for each newsgroup.  The count is of the
32           number of control messages with the indicated arguments, regardless
33           if they were actually processed.  All control arguments, including
34           invalid ones, are counted.  An example of lines which can be found
35           in that log file is:
36
37               3 Control: newgroup foo.bar moderated
38               3 Control: rmgroup misc.removed
39               1 Control: newgroup misc.created
