(not statistics) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:13:54 -0000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I recently set up an IRC server (irc/ircd-hybrid), which I don't see obvious settings for finely tuned channel logging. What I would like to do is log individual channels without depending on a connected client. In all my searching I found software that either: 1.) depends on a 100% connected client, but provides concise logging of channel activity; 2.) logs statistics, rather than the useful information I am trying to obtain such as, who pastes the most links, who 'smiley's the most, etc. My interest is in the useful information in the channel, not statistics; ultimately, I want to have the channel conversations archived. I'd like to do this on the server itself. For example, in the event I have to reboot my machine or the disk dies, or whatever bad event, I don't want to concern myself with missed data, corrupt logs, or a disconnected client, so I would like this to run unprivileged and without an interactive shell. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them before I go reinventing the wheel. Thanks, best regards, and sorry for the off-topic post. - -- Glen Barber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMbI4rAAoJEFJPDDeguUajmSgIAJNc3fPkv3TQ97c+CPVPUjVx FrdM17i58WubEM6g2PSpc7oEjqyVilmxzVlQSPDrGK3DUeXRQu0qTb6Qi/foxi2g Mx0q/jkJQMNOqICAAU+VlXsXDPe8C/57yM5RVEY/XRTNyDmseMC9Zpt40+9YDYFe aNqXy4Ydgk3lnTxT7TWI1ivzr9ShUD61s6Fe+842Ryfh2kiFr5srOOE89DmH9QWb jhUaan/nKt34VpfoKWq2aIRkven+BRMjsO3eDmjyRcrx5f5jnXGKAyYmCZzovNK4 CDqGA9e+yT6juNeNh1q67p2seid5+tYKjw19QWLrWzfV2jDdKbwjqwoxkGAVVdI= =RJoU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
