LightSquid on Endian FW

You will notice that the IP listing is a duplicate of all users who are logged onto that server.  So the user1 + user2 = IP traffic if that makes sense.  I am trying to get Squint working on my server.  Squint gives more in depth reports daily/weekly/monthly.  Only thing I am struggling with is getting the cron job to work properly.

mine isn't running either using

#!/bin/sh
/home/httpd/html/lsquid/lightparser.pl &>/dev/null
exit 0

does it need to be ran as root?

i used this

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/httpd/html/lsquid
./lightparser.pl
exit 0

and put it in the cron.cyclic folder and ran chmod 700 "filename" and it works now

I am finding out that any Cron that i add to the crontab file, none of them run.  Anyone have any suggestions on how I could get this script to run nightly at a specific time?

I didn't add anything to the crontab file, looks to me that it is setup to tell the folders( cron.hour, cron.daily etc) when to run. From what i can tell is that you put the job in the folder that runs on the time table you want.

to test i put this in a text file with no extension

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/httpd/html/lsquid
./lightparser.pl
exit 0

then ran from terminal chmod 700 "filename" (this look important to do bc it didnt work till i did it) and put it in the /etc/cron.minutely to test where i didn't have to wait an hour.

on the skip user is there a way to skip all ip address are do i have to add each address from all the subnets?

I figured out that fcron, which is the daemon for crontab only reloads itself with a reboot.  Therefore anything in crontab is not recognized yet.

Very Very nice program!!!!!
Easy to install, easy to configure, and easy to get stats and graphs.
That's what exactly I was looking for months!!!!! 

Just a tip, to remove 127.0.0.1 logs, you just need to configure a second cfg file, called skipuser.cfg. Just write these IPs to remove local logs:
127.0.0.1
localhost
localhost.localhost

There is a thing I still can't get to work. It's supposed that the logger has the ability to parse IP 2 names from DHCP file, although I configured $ip2name as 'dhcp', it doesn't work for me.

I'm working hard with old logs, to have a nice stat site. 700Mb of compressed squid logs, millions and millions of http access 

About cron jobs, a side note. install.txt file from lightsquid package says:
10. Setup crontab to run lightparser once per hour

      crontab -e
      This example will execute parser at 55 minutes after every hour:

      */55 * * * * /var/www/htdocs/lightsquid/lightparser.pl today
     
      if you have small log and fast machine, you may run lightparser with smaller delay
      !!!warning!!! not set interval less 10 min !!!!!

command crontab not available on endian.
I create script at /etc/cron.hourly for generate report every hour.

Well, I was refering to the 1 hour limit on readme, but thanks for pointing out the crontab

How to show detail in each user ?

[pwizard]

Why not show detail ?

[turitopa]

hi people,

is my stmpmail details logged in here?

I would like to see how much bandwidth my MailServer is using...

[jayanthan]

Super explanation and very easy to install and to get work.

FYI,
i put that file in "/etc/cron.cyclic", it generates the report at every 5 minutes.

After that i moved that file to cron.hourly. So, that 1ly it every hourly...

One more thing,
If an ip is Bypassed. it can't generates report for that IP.
