NAME

       uurate - Report Taylor UUCP statistics

SYNOPSIS

       uurate [ -acdefhipqtvx ] [ -s host  ] [ -I config  ][ logfile... ]

       or simply,

       uurate

       for a traffic summary report.

DESCRIPTION

       The  uurate  command  provides tabular summary reports on the operation of the Taylor UUCP
       system. Data is taken from the currently active log files, standard input, or from a  list
       of  log  files  given  on  the  command  line.  Output  is  in the form of tabular reports
       summarizing call, file transfer, and command execution (uuxqt) activity.

       The log and stats files given to uurate must be in the ``Taylor'' or ``V2'' format.  Also,
       note that call and file transfer activities are logged in separate files, nominally called
       Log and Stats, respectively. For reports to be meaningful, the Log and Stats files  should
       be given to uurate together, and cover the same time period.

       If  neither  the  -i  or  -I  option nor any logfile options are given, uurate defaults to
       taking its input from the current Taylor Log and Stats files.  The  names  are  either  as
       defined  at compilation time, in case there is no config file, or taken from the arguments
       of the keywords logfile and statfile when encountered in the config  file.   This  is  the
       normal mode of operation.

       The reporting options described below can be used to select the set of reports desired. If
       no options are given, a summary report is displayed. If there is no relevant  data  for  a
       particular report or host, that report or host will be suppressed.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be given to uurate:

       -a   All reports. Identical to -cfexp.

       -c   Report on call statistics. Requires data from a Log file.

       -d   will print the default config file to be used.

       -e   Report  on  efficiency  (total  connect  time  versus time spent transferring files).
            Requires data from both a Log and a Stats file, and they  must  span  the  same  time
            period.

       -f   Report on file transfer statistics. Requires data from a Stats file.

       -h   will print a short help information.

       -i   tells uurate to read any logfile information from standard input.

       -p   report on protocol errors and packets sent/received

       -q   do not print the Environment information,

       -t   All reports. Identical to -cfexp.  plus the Compact summary.

       -v   will print the version id string

       -x   Report on remote execution requests (e.g., rmail).  Requires data from a Log file.

       -s host
            Restrict report output to host.

       -I config file
            an alternate config file may be passed by this option.

DESCRIPTION OF REPORTS

       There  are  four  reports  available:  the  call,  file  transfer,  efficiency, and remote
       execution reports. Each may be selected by a command  line  option.  All  reports  may  be
       selected  via  the  options  -a  or  -t.  If no report selection options are given, uurate
       displays a compact traffic summary report (see below).

   Summary report
       If no report options are  given,  uurate  displays  a  traffic  summary  report.  This  is
       particularly  useful  in  daily  cron  jobs  which  report on errors and the like. Traffic
       statistics for each active system is reported on a single line. If more  than  one  system
       was active, a 'totals' line is included at the end of the report.

   Protocol packet report
       The  protocol  report  gives  statistics  on  min/max  packet and window sizes used during
       transmission. Further on data is collected for packets transferred. The data is  collected
       for each host/protocol type.  The fields are described below:

          site      UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
          typ       Type of protocol used
          Min       minimum packet/window size
          Max       maximum packet/window size
          sent      packets sent
          resent    packets resent
          received  packets received

   Protocol error report
       The  protocol  report  gives  statistics on packet errors during transmission. The data is
       collected for each host/protocol type.  The fields are described below:

          site           UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
          typ            Type of protocol used
          header         number of errors in header
          checksum       number of checksum errors
          order          number of order errors
          resent         number packets resent
          rem-reject     packets that the remote site rejected

   Call report
       The call report gives statistics on inbound  and  outbound  calls  for  each  active  host
       system. The fields are described below:

          site      UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
          succ.     Successful calls attempted to/by that system,
          failed    Failed calls to/by that system,
          total     Total calls to/by that system,
          time      Collected connect time (hh:mm:ss) for all calls,

   File transfer reports
       The  file  transfer  reports  give  statistics  on  inbound  and  outbound  file transfers
       (regardless of which end initiated the transfer) for each active host  system.  There  are
       two  reports,  one for files sent to the remote system and one for files received from the
       remote system. The fields in each report are described below:

          site        UUCP node name of neighbor host system
          files       Number of files transferred
          Bytes/1000  Total size of files transferred given in thousands
          xfr time    Total time (hh:mm:ss) spent on transfer the files,
          B/sec       Average transfer rate (bytes/sec).

   Efficiency report
       The efficiency report describes the utilization of the links to each active remote system,
       giving the ratio of total connect time to the time spent actually transferring files.  The
       fields are described below:

          site       UUCP node name of neighbor host system
          connected  Total connect time for that system (turn-around)
          xfr time   Total file transfer time for that system
          overhead   Connect time not used to transfer files,
          eff. %     Ratio of connect time to transfer time (xfer*100/conn)

   Command executions report
       The remote execution report describes remotely  requested  command  executions  from  each
       active  host  system,  like  rmail and rnews.  Up to eight command names are displayed. If
       there are more, the rest will be put together  in  an  `Misc.'  column.   The  fields  are
       described below:

          site        UUCP node name of neighbor host system,
          (command)   Number of requests of this command,
          Misc.       Number of other requests, if more than eight.

   FILES
       The  file  names below may be changed at compilation time or by the configuration file, so
       these are only approximations.
          /usr/spool/uucp/Log   V2/Taylor format call/execution log,
          /usr/spool/uucp/Stats V2/Taylor format file transfer log.

   BUGS
       Does not understand other than V2/TAYLOR logging formats. Anyone care to volunteer to  add
       the not mentioned?

       Scanning  the  arguments  of  logfile  and statfile keywords in config should handle lines
       continued with the backslash as well.

       The failfm field in the call statistics table is  always  zero,  unless  something  really
       serious happens, e.g. uucico got SIGQUIT or the whole system crashed.
