CLEARXS(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            CLEARXS(1)

NAME
     clearxs - Daily update for the xs-httpd counter file

SYNOPSIS
     clearxs [-d | -m | -T | -x yyyymmdd]

DESCRIPTION
     `clearxs' is a program that you should install in a cron(1) table.  What
     it does is clear some of the fields in the WWW counter file every night.
     This is so that the counter can assume three values: a day counter, a
     month counter and a total counter. This program resets the day counter to
     0 every day and the month counter to 0 every first of the month.

     The option controls which counters should be cleared:

     -d      This makes the program clear all the day counters, but leaves the
             other counters as they were. This option should be used every
             night.

     -m      This makes the program clear the day and the month counter.  The
             total counter is left as it was. This should be run by cron every
             first of the month.

     -T      Clears all the counters. Do not use...

     -x yyyymmdd
             Expunge counters that have not been used since the given day.
             This will remove historical data from disk - use with care.

EXAMPLES
     The following can be used as a crontab(5) entry:
           0       0       2-31    *       *       root    clearxs -d
           0       0       1       *       *       root    clearxs -m

DIAGNOSTICS
     The clearxs utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
