Command Line Options
The wusage program supports the following command
line options:
-c config_file_name
- The -c option should be followed by the name of the
configuration file (typically wusage.conf or wusage.con under DOS). This
is
the only required command line option.
-u
(always used with -l
)
- The -u option is used to specify that wusage should
analyze a stand-alone user agent log.
This option is always used in conjunction with the
-l filename
option, which indicates where
the user agent log file is located. This option produces
a report called agents.html
in the
report directory. This special filename is used to avoid
overwriting the normal output of wusage. It is better
to configure your web server to
log this information in the regular server log so it
can be analyzed as part of your normal reports.
-r
(always used with -l
)
- The -r option is used to specify that wusage should
analyze a stand-alone referrer log.
This option is always used in conjunction with the
-l filename
option, which indicates where
the referrer log file is located. This option produces
a report called referrers.html
(note
the spelling) in the report directory. This special filename is used
to avoid overwriting the normal output of wusage. It is better
to configure your web server to
log this information in the regular server log so it
can be analyzed as part of your normal reports.
-b MM/DD or MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
- The -b option is used to specify the date from
which wusage should begin producing reports. If the
-b option is not specified, wusage generates reports
beginning with the day or week immediately following
the last day or week generated on a previous run,
or from the first date in the log file if wusage
has not been run before. If the -b option is specified,
wusage will produce reports from that date
forward to the present day, or another ending date
specified by the -e option. Three date formats are supported:
MM/DD (example: 9/29), MM/DD/YY (example: 9/29/1980),
and MM/DD/YYYY (example: 9/29/1980). This option
is useful if you have accidentally run wusage on
a partial log file and wish to run it again to
re-generate the reports for the missing days using
data in another log file.
-e MM/DD or MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY
- The -e option is used to specify the date on
which wusage should stop producing reports. If
the -e option is specified, wusage will produce
reports up to and including that date.
Otherwise, wusage will produce reports through the
most recent complete day or week. Three date formats are
supported: MM/DD (example: 9/29), MM/DD/YY (example: 9/29/1980),
and MM/DD/YYYY (example: 9/29/1980). This option
is useful if you wish to run wusage on only a
certain time period found in a large log file,
especially if you are generating a summary report.
-s
- The -s option specifies that wusage should
generate a summary report. This option
overrides the
frequency
configuration file option.
-v
- The -v option displays the version number
of wusage.
-l log_file_or_directory or -
- The -l option is used to override the
logfile
or logdir
configuration
file option. If the -l option is given, the specified
log file or directory of log files will be analyzed instead. If the
special
log file name -
(a single dash) is given,
wusage will expect to read its input from
standard input. This is particularly useful
when working with pipelines
of several commands such as the Unix cat and
zcat commands.
Note: because wusage has so
many useful options, it is primarily
controlled by
configuration file options rather than
command line options.
