This is fidostat, a quick hack of a log file analyser for the binkd TCP/IP FTN mailer. It is intended to be used for seeing which systems have polled (or have been polled by) the user's system today. For example:
$ fidostat binkdstat

Such reports are sent to standard output by default, but can easily be redirected to a file or piped to another program in order to, e.g., post the report in your local statistics echo. For example:
# Redirect to file and post to local echo:
fidostat binkdstat > stats.txt
hpt post -s "Daily binkd statistics" -e "MILLENNIUM_STATS" -x stats.txtAlternatively:
# Post to local echo via pipe:
fidostat binkdstat | hpt post -s "Daily binkd statistics" -e "MILLENNIUM_STATS" -x -Statistics are computed based on the binkd.log file, which is searched in your standard husky log directory (cf. the FidonetLogsDir variable in your husky configuration file).
Development of this program was started (back in 1999) by Gabriel Plutzar, 2:31/1. As Gabriel is no longer active in FidoNet, the program is currently (as of 2018) maintained by Niels Joncheere, 2:292/789.
