- The following information describes the PCBSTATS.DAT file which PCBoard
- maintains with information about the activity on the system and displays to
- the sysop on the call waiting screen.
-
- There is one record in the file for every node on the system, plus on
- additional record, at the top of the file, for the system statistics. Each
- record has the following structure:
-
- typedef struct {
- char LastCaller[54];
- char Time[6];
- long NewMsgs;
- long NewCalls;
- long TotalUp;
- long TotalDn;
- bool LocalStats; ;bool is a char type with a 0 or 1 value
- } stattype;
-
- So record #0 is the system record, record #1 belongs to node #1, record #2
- belongs to node #2 and so on.
-
- When PCBoard updates this file, it updates *both* the local node statistics
- as well as the system statistics. For example, if JOHN DOE logs off, his
- name appears in the local node record plus it is written to the system record.
-
- In this manner, the sysop can look at "system wide statistics" or he can switch
- to a specific node and look at "node specific statistics".
