In the configuration file you can tell it how many seconds to update. By default it is 60, I have mine set to 600 (5 minutes ) personally, but you can set it to be up to 10 minutes. (See the interval line). Granted, that's not going to do you that much good. It says that if you update more than 10 minutes apart you won't appear in the list, but maybe your stats will still count for the totals, I'm not sure. I'll try and ask the author. > -- > Ben Smithurst > ben@scientia.demon.co.uk --- John Baldwin -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
