-.IX Title "NINPATHS 8"
-.TH NINPATHS 8 "2008-04-06" "INN 2.4.5" "InterNetNews Documentation"
-.SH "NAME"
-ninpaths \- Report Usenet Path statistics (new inpaths)
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
-\&\fBninpaths\fR \fB\-p\fR \fB\-d\fR \fIdumpfile\fR
-.PP
-\&\fBninpaths\fR \fB\-r\fR \fIsite\fR \fB\-u\fR \fIdumpfile\fR [\fB\-u\fR \fIdumpfile\fR ...] \fB\-v\fR
-\&\fIlevel\fR
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-This is an efficient and space-saving inpaths reporting program. It works
-as follows: you feed it the Path lines via an \s-1INN\s0 channel feed or some
-other similar method, and from time to time the program writes all its
-internal counters accumulated so far to a dump file. Another instance of
-the program picks up all the dump files, adds them up and formats them
-into the report. The purpose of the final report is to summarize the
-frequency of occurrence of sites in the Path headers of articles.
-.PP
-Some central sites accumulate the Path data from many news servers running
-this program or one like it, and then report statistics on the most
-frequently seen news servers in Usenet article Path lines. The
-\&\fBsendinpaths\fR shell script can be run once a month to mail the
-accumulated statistics to such a site and remove the old dump files.
-.PP
-You can get a working setup by doing the following:
-.IP "1." 4
-Create a directory at \fIpathlog\fR/path (replacing \fIpathlog\fR here and in
-all steps that follow with the full path to your \s-1INN\s0 log directory).
-.IP "2." 4
-Set up a channel feed using an entry like:
-.Sp
-.Vb 1
-\& inpaths!:*:Tc,WP:ninpaths \-p \-d <pathlog>/path/inpaths.%d
-.Ve
-.Sp
-if your version of \s-1INN\s0 supports \s-1WP\s0 (2.0 and later all do). Replace
-<pathlog> with the full path to your \s-1INN\s0 log directory.
-.IP "3." 4
-Enter into your news user crontab something like:
-.Sp
-.Vb 1
-\& 6 6 * * * ctlinnd flush inpaths!
-.Ve
-.Sp
-(the actual time doesn't matter). This will force \fBninpaths\fR to generate
-a dump file once a day.
-.IP "4." 4
-Once per month, run the \fBsendinpaths\fR script, which collects the dumps,
-makes a report, and then deletes the old dumps. (You can generate a
-report without mailing it and without deleting it with \f(CW\*(C`sendinpaths \-n\*(C'\fR.)
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.IX Header "OPTIONS"
-.IP "\fB\-d\fR \fIdumpfile\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-d dumpfile"
-Save dumps in \fIdumpfile\fR. Any \f(CW%d\fR in \fIdumpfile\fR will be replaced with
-the current system time when the dump is made. This option should be used
-with \fB\-p\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-p\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-p"
-Read Path lines from standard input.
-.IP "\fB\-r\fR \fIsite\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-r site"
-Generate a report for \fIsite\fR. Generally \fIsite\fR should be the value of
-\&\fIpathhost\fR from \fIinn.conf\fR.
-.IP "\fB\-u\fR \fIdumpfile\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-u dumpfile"
-Read data from \fIdumpfile\fR. This option can be repeated to read data from
-multiple dump files.
-.IP "\fB\-v\fR \fIlevel\fR" 4
-.IX Item "-v level"
-Set the verbosity level of the report. Valid values for \fIlevel\fR are 0,
-1, and 2, with 2 being the default.
-.SH "NOTES"
-.IX Header "NOTES"
-If your \s-1INN\s0 doesn't have the \s-1WP\s0 feed flag (1.5 does not, 1.6 does, 1.7 I
-don't know, 2.0 and later all do), use the following newsfeeds entry:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& inpaths!:*:Tc,WH:ginpaths
-.Ve
-.PP
-where \fBginpaths\fR is the following script:
-.PP
-.Vb 2
-\& #!/bin/sh
-\& exec egrep '^Path: ' | ninpaths \-p \-d <pathlog>/path/inpaths.%d
-.Ve
-.PP
-replacing <pathlog> as above.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
-\&\fInewsfeeds\fR\|(5), \fIsendinpaths\fR\|(8)
-.PP
-This is a slightly modified version of Olaf Titz's original ninpaths
-program, which is posted to alt.sources and kept on his \s-1WWW\s0 archive under
-<http://sites.inka.de/~bigred/sw/>.
-.SH "HISTORY"
-.IX Header "HISTORY"
-\&\fBninpaths\fR was written by Olaf Titz <olaf@bigred.inka.de>.
-.PP
-The idea and some implementation details for ninpaths come from the
-original inpaths program, but most of the code has been rewritten for
-clarity. This program is in the public domain.
