Those files ending in .awk are for the Unix awk utility, while +those ending in .sh are for the csh utility. Normally, the summary.sh +script is called from a cron job once per day. This script calls the +peer.sh script to process the peerstats file and append the summary +statistics to the peer_summary file. Then, it callse the loop.sh script +to process the loopstats file and append the summary statistics to the +loop_summary file. Finally, it calls the clock.sh script to process the +clockstats file and append the summary statistics to the clock_summary +file. + +Each of the three shell scripts peer.sh, loop.sh and clock.sh invoke +one or more awk scripts to actually produce the data. This may result +in multiple scans of the same input file. The input file is deleted after +processing. In fact, the shell scripts will process all input files +found of the correct type in chronological order, deleting each one as +it is scanned, except the current day file. + +The psummary.awk script can be used to scan the peer_summary file and +construct an historical reprise of the daily summaries. + +The file formats are documented in the README.stats file and in the +scripts themselves. Further detail on the radio clock ASCII timecode +formats and related data are in the README.timecode file. + +David L. Mills +University of Delaware +mills@udel.edu +1 November 1993 + |
