To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 14:50:25 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL17 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Instead of possibly going ahead and reinventing a wheel, I thought I would ask the FreeBSD community. I need a tool or script that takes the entries in wtmp and produces information about a set of dialin ttys (ttyd*, in fact) indicating usage, at the very least, and possibly more. It's along the lines of "last," but last doesn't give me exactly what I need. I need it to justify the need for more ports, modems, and phonelines on our dialin server (which is running FreeBSD, and which I managed to get to run FreeBSD over Windows NT on the grounds that FreeBSD actually _works_). I need a tool to summarize use of the three lines we have, to show that they're actually busy most of the time. I'll write it if I have to, but I thought I would ask, first. Someone out there is _bound_ to have written something like this. -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com
