The
messages file located in your var/logs directory
contains valuable information describing how often your
virtual anonymous FTP server is being used. This information
is not very readable, however. You can use the Xferstats
program to summarize anonymous FTP activity.
Xferstats may
be run periodically by the CRON utility.
Using xferstats to Monitor
FTP Activity
- Create a file named
cfile with the following information:
# cron tab file
(see crontab(5))
# Every Sunday morning at 2:13am process FTP xferstats
and "nuke" message file
13 2 * * sun /usr/local/bin/xferstats -m user@xyz.com
-n
- Run crontab
to install the cron file (cfile) you
just created:
% crontab cfile
For more information
on cron, enter man crontab and man
5 crontab at your Virtual Server's UNIX prompt or
see the section on cron in Chapter 8.
