NAME
uurate - Report Taylor UUCP statistics

SYNOPSIS
uurate [ -cfexai ] [ -h host ] [ logfile... ]

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 files given to uurate must be in the ``Taylor'' 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 option nor any logfile options are given, uurate defaults to taking its input from the current Taylor Log and Stats files, as defined at compilation time in the file sysdep.h. 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, the call and file reports are displayed. If there is no relevant data for a particular report or host, that report or host will be supressed.

OPTIONS
The following options may be given to uurate: -c Report on call statistics. Requires data from a Log file. -f Report on file transfer statistics. Requires data from a Stats file. -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. -x Report on remote execution requests (e.g., rmail). Requires data from a Log file. -a All reports. Identical to -cfex. -h host Restrict report output to host.

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 option -a. If no report selection options are given, uurate displays the call and file transfer reports by default.

  Call report
The call report gives statistics on inbound and outbound calls for each active host system. The fields are described below:
sysname	UUCP node name of neighbor host system
callto	Outbound calls attempted to that system
failto	Failed outbound calls to that system
totime	Connect time (sec.) on outbound calls
callfm	Inbound calls attempted by that system
failfm	Failed inbound calls from that system
fmtime	Connect time (sec.) on inbound 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:
sysname	UUCP node name of neighbor host system
files	Number of files transferred
bytes	Total size (bytes) of files transferred
seconds	Total time (sec.) to transfer files
byte/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:
sysname	UUCP node name of neighbor host system
conntime	Total connect time for that system
flowtime	Total file transfer time for that system
ovhdtime	Connect time not used to transfer files
effcy (%)	Ratio of connect time to transfer time

  Remote execution report
The remote execution report describes remotely requested command executions from each active host system. Executions of rmail and rnews are the most common, and are detailed separately. The fields are described below:
sysname	UUCP node name of neighbor host system
rmail	Number of rmail requests from that system
rnews	Number of rnews requests from that system
other	Number of other requests from that system

  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	Taylor format call/execution log
/usr/spool/uucp/Stats	Taylor format file transfer log

  BUGS
Should check the configuration file to locate the currently active Log and Stats files when using them for default inputs. Instead, it uses the compile-time settings only.

Should report packet protocol error statistics by host and protocol type.
