Hello All!

So, You may have noticed there are some messages in the FSX_STA echo showing some stats for Hub 4. I had been working on an MPL that would generate those stats files, but ran into issues when trying to automate the running of Mystic via a cronjob.

What I ended up doing, was rewriting it in FreePascal, and have been testing it locally here for a couple days. It seems to be working just fine, but we all know how that goes... ;)

The one posted last night, almost 12 hours ago, will give a general idea of the information it will contain. I have made a few changes to it, such as adding the time of the nodes last poll.

This program scans all of the fileboxes, and counts up the total files and size of what's waiting for each node, and then spits out a report. On the bottom of this report, there is a list of nodes that haven't polled for x number of days. It also gives a brief status of where that node is at in the removal process. For example, node 21:4/154 is now showing as not connecting for 89 days, and the status is 'Removal Warning!'. Once that hits 90 days, the status will change to 'Remove Node!!!'. This tells me that it is now time to remove this node, and remove all files from their filebox.

Just a quick and dirty tool to make sure things continue to run smoothly over here, and help me to not have to manually check all of the fileboxes to see what's waiting for each node. ;)
