Hello,

anyone ever written a script which prints out the lines from .traffic in the partyline to a .txt?

I would like to write a script which sends me the montly traffic for a bot per email.

But I dont know how to get the .traffic output into a .txt.

Thats why I am asking, anyone ever had some experience with this kind of script(traffic)?

I wrote a loopback script to capture .traffic output into a variable, which can be easily modified to dump it to file. I'll look for it sometime later

Here is a source patch I that creates a 'traffic' tcl command. It returns a list of lists of all the traffic information.

to install the patch:

download it from http://home.dal.net/stdragon/eggdrop/tcl_traffic.patch

move it to the eggdrop/src directory

type 'patch < tcl_traffic.patch'

recompile eggdrop by typing 'make' and then 'make install'

The new command is called 'traffic'

It returns a list of lists like this:
{previous output, today's output, total output, previous input, today's input, total input}

There is one of these lists for irc, botnet, partyline, transfer.mod, and misc traffic (scripts).

The final list is for combined counts:
{previous combined output, today's combined output, total combined output, previous combined input, today's combined input, total combined input}

Have time to make that a module?

Unfortunately, the traffic variables aren't exported in the module table, so modules can't access them. Changing the table would require a patch anyways, so I don't really see any benefit to a module version.
