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 dis-
       played. 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.
