Tabby Logger is a freeware Tabby compatible application that examines your Tabby Log and extracts the times that other nodes crashmailed your system or Tabby called other nodes. It stores this information in a file called TabbyLogger.out. Tabby Logger works very quickly, so you can either put it in your Tabby events or make it an external from Second Sight. Then display the TabbyLogger.out file.
TabbyLogger also maintains a small database of the nodes that your BBS has come in contact with. This database is stored as a text file in the same folder as TabbyLogger. It is called NodeCallTimes. (Sorry, I couldn't think of a better name). It contains the FidoNet node numbers and the last time they were in contact with your BBS. This can be usefull for tracking points that no longer call. If you delete the database, TabbyLogger will start a new one. The database is sorted by Node Number.
You can change the names of the files and the first line of the NodeCallTimes file by editing the STR# in TabbyLogger with ResEdit.
To install TabbyLogger, throw it in your bbs folder with Tabby, Second Sight and their buddies. If you want the Tabbylogger.out file to always be updated, install Tabbylogger in each of your event strings after Tabbynet has finished.
Bug reports should be sent to:
Kirk Crawford at FidoNet Node 1:102/132
•Changes in version 0.5
Modified the sorting routine so that nodes are sorted in the node database by their node number rather than the string containing their node number. Added a header line to the NodeCallTimes file.
•Changes in version 0.4
Fixed a bug that would cause non-nodes to be counted as real nodes. Either delete your NodeCallTimes file or edit your NodeCallTimes file to remove the lines with fictional nodes. Usually they will have the node number of "call".
•Changes in version 0.3 (I forgot what I did in 0.2)
Added the database thing.
Fixed a bug that caused TabbyLogger to miss certain CrashMail events.
