The following numbers reflect those systems that reported in
on the 1st day of
the month of December, compared against the 1st day of the
previous month.
Since the point of this is to be run monthly, out of
periodic monthly, the 1st
of the month is when all hosts should be 'renewing' their
information ... and
this report is only the FreeBSD hosts:
Numbers are up from November, which is what we hope for ...
not drastically,
but 7.5% isn't shabby either:
Last Month This Month % Change
Total Systems 2085 2254 7.50%
alpha 3 3 0.00%
amd64 173 163 -6.13%
i386 1893 2072 8.64%
ia64 1 0 0.00%
sparc64 15 16 6.25%
4.x 224 220 -1.82%
5.x 303 372 18.55%
6.x 1533 1623 5.55%
7.x 25 39 35.90%
For those wishing to see more formal stats, or more detail,
please check out
http://www.bsdstats.org
... we've recently added on a Ports Report, that is
present in v5.0 available in /usr/ports/sysutils/bsdstats
...
Thank you to all that are currently participating ...
hopefully next month we
can see as much growth as we did this one (although we know
of a site in
Australia that is supposedly about to add 800+ hosts, so we
should see that
easily) ...

I have some diskless workstations running FreeBSD. Sure
users are not
supposed to use them _every_ first day of month (ex. when
this day is
a weekend or a holiday). Whould stats from those
workstations be
useless?
Thanks!

Hello,
I just installed it in my 9 FreeBSD 6.x servers ;)
Nice tool to show the BSD power!
Thank you,

Good question ... not useless, but not sure how (and/or if)
it would work ...
the script creates a /var/db/bsdstats file that contains the
KEY/TOKEN that is
used to talk to the server, which is used on subsequent
reports so that it
doesn't get reported as a 'new host', but just updates the
old data ...
If its diskless, will each reboot end up reporting as a
whole new host each
time, or is there some way of saving that /var/db/bsdstats
across reboots?

We use memory mounted /var. :-(
Ok, let's only our servers do the reporting.

'k, I'm clueless on diskless, so this may or may not be
doable ... but would it
be possible to cp the bsdstats file from the 'disk mount
server' to
/var/db/bsdstats on reboot?
Say, something scripted like:
if [ ! -f /var/db/bsdstats ]; then
if [ -f <remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname` ]; then
cp <remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname`
/var/db/bsdstats
else
run 300.statistics
cp /var/db/bsdstats
<remotemount>/bsdstats.`hostname`
fi
fi
Add something like that (real code at least) to the init/rc
file used on the
diskless station, to be run after all mounts are up?

Yes, those machines use NFS home directories which may be
used. Thanks
for the tip.

As I said I'm afraid those machines may give some
destabilization to
bsdstats results when the First of month is a
holiday/weekend. So I'm
not sure if it's a good thing to report them to
bsdstats.org. What do
you think?

Run them, but, have the script to pull the bsdstats file
over also run the
script at the same time, so that not only do they update
their stats 'on the
1st' (if they are up), but also when they reboot ... that
way, it is guaranteed
to report once a month ...

Wouldn't this be better served in FreeBSD-Ports?
