Daily Status Report script...
The mmdsr script was created by Brad Knowles to produce a daily status report
for mailman. It was initially posted at
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1123383&group_id=103&atid=300103>
which see for possible patches and other enhancements.
It is intended that there will be a 'cleaner', more complete readme file in
the future. In the interim, here are Brad's original comments.
I quickly whacked together a Daily Status Report script for Mailman (using
Bourne shell, not Python ;), and thought that other folks might be interested
in seeing it.
The basic concept is a program that gets fired off at 23:59 every night, and
goes through a variety of log files looking for entries specific to that date,
and indicating problems or certain types of activity that might be of interest
to someone trying to administer the server. It also does an "ls -la" of
/usr/local/mailman/qfiles/*, so that you can see what is in the queue at the
time of the running of the script.
My concept was that this daily report would get e-mailed to the admin, or
posted to a "reports" mailing list, where they could be archived and kept for
future reference.
The script does not (yet) do any statistics calculations, although it should
be relatively easy to hack together some basic stats using awk, sort, etc....
Anyway, I thought I'd share it and let folks take a look at it, and if anyone
has any recommended improvements, we can incorporate those and share them back
out with everyone.
The code is written under a BSD-style license, so if you don't want to
contribute any changes back to me, that's okay. Of course, I would prefer that
you did, but I leave the choice up to you.
