DIALD Usage Time Report

Problem: Keeping track of the on-line time for my network.

This is a Perl script program that will scan your diald log file and generate a report of your on-line time for the month.  The normal usage will read the entire log file then print a summary of on-line time usage for each month.  If your ISP anniversary date is not the first of the month,  there is a control variable that is used to report time from an offset start day of the month.  This will report usage time between offset start days of each month.

This program is written in Perl Script.  The two user options in the program; one is for setting the path to the log file and the second is the off-set start day of month.

==============================
# Set the location of your Diald Log file
$LOGFILE = "/var/log/diald.log";
#
# If Your ISP has an offset day set sday to day of month
$sday = 15;
==============================

To support simple troubleshooting, there is an option to the URL call that can be used to pass a debug level flag to the program.  This debug flag will allow watching the processing of the log file.

Normal call is:
../cgi-xxx/diald.pl    Where ... is the address of your server and xxx is the cgi-bin or cgi-local directory.

Debug option call:
.../cgi-xxx/diald.pl/debug=y    Where y is the debug level  0 (default), 1 or 2 for full trace..
