uutraf - UUCP traffic analyzator and cost estimator.

uutraf [ -n,--news ] [ -N,--nonews ] [ -s host, --hostname host ] [ logfile statfile ]

uutraf [ -h,--help ] [ -v,--version ]

uutraf takes a logfile and a statfile produced by Taylor UUCP and displays information summaries from these files. For each site, the following items will be calculated:

• number of transferred files,

• size of transferred files,

• number of transferred mails,

• size of transferred mails,

• the combined (total) size of all the above,

• average character/second rate (received and sent),

• Up/Down-ratio (uploads/downloads),

• Efficiency (up- or downloading time/connection time).

The site-dependent parameters are taken from /etc/uucp/uutraf.cf.

These parameters are globally calculated:

• Start and end period of the logfile file,

• the totals of the site-dependent values.

-h,--help

stands for help

-v,--version

prints out the current version of uutraf and exits.

-n,--news

Display separate statistics for news articles.

-N,--nonews

Do not display separate statistics for news articles.

-s name,--hostname name

sets the local hostname to name. The local hostname is shown in the banner of the output (there is normally no need to specify a hostname with -s since, it's queried with the gethostname(2) call. This option is only useful if you are processing logfilesandstatfiles from other hosts).

/etc/uucp/uutraf.cf

Cost information about UUCP sites.

David Frey made the original program.

Yves Arrouye added modifications.

uutraf is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.

The cost estimation is not as exact as desired; some heuristics are hard-coded. Complex scenarios, for example retransmissions of partly sent files, will be accounted in a wrong way.

uutraf(1) assumes that calls are only done during one tariffary period (eg. all low rate calls).

The original idea and display layout was taken from John Vroman's Perl script - also named uutraf.
