[ mailman-Patches-1123383 ] Daily Status Report script...

Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Brad Knowles (shub) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Daily Status Report script... Initial Comment: Folks, 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-01-03 18:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO Re-did the 0.0.17 change to use the prior sort key field separator by default but to make it a user settable parameter.

Right now, for example, if you use the name output by list_lists (which seems to be the "pretty" name) as input to list_members, list_members lower-cases the input and properly lists the members. list_owners and list_admins, on the other hand, don't, although their failure modes are different. There may be other commands that have this problem, these are just the two that I stumbled across today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-01-03 11:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO This report duplicates that in Patch 1842412.

[ mailman-Patches-1123383 ] Daily Status Report script...

Patches item #1123383, was opened at 2005-02-15 12:14 Message generated for change (Comment added) made by msapiro You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1123383&group_… Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: list administration Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Brad Knowles (shub) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Daily Status Report script... Initial Comment: Folks, 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2008-01-03 09:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO File Added: mmdsr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dave Yost (daveyost) Date: 2007-01-12 23:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=330919 Originator: NO I suggest incorporating the readme into the shell script, so there is only the one file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Brad Knowles (shub) Date: 2006-01-25 17:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=18417 Folks, Okay, I just uploaded version 0.0.15, which addresses the most recent comments here from Mark and Tom, and makes a few additional tweaks as well.
