Installation - account.daily
============================

Browse through the Makefile and adjust the configuration if necessary.
Then simply type 'make install'.

By default the script will be installed in /usr/local/sbin.

If you want to use HTML output, copy the showacct script to your cgi-bin
directory.

Call 'crontab -e' and insert an entry like:

# AT 23:55: Accounting summary
55 23 * * * /usr/local/sbin/account.daily

Edit /etc/account.conf to fit your setup. Some things can also be set later
at the command line.

If you want to use the HTML output you should create a reference
to the generated page from one of your existing pages. This should
look like

<a href="acct/index.html"> Accounting summary</a> (updated daily)

Of course, you have to adjust the anchor to match your HTML location.

To test the script, edit the "test" file, and do, as normal user
(so you can't mess up any important files):

./test

and watch for errors. If no error occurs, you should be able to view
the resulting HTML file by doing 'lynx /some/where/index.html'.

Installation - account.isdn
===========================

Browse through the Makefile and adjust the configuration if necessary.
Then simply type 'make install.isdn'.

By default the script will be installed in /usr/local/sbin.

Call 'crontab -e' and insert an entry like:

# At 01:00 monthly: ISDN summary
00 01 1 * * /usr/local/sbin/account.isdn -html

If you want to use the HTML output you should create a reference
to the generated page from one of your existing pages. This should
look like

<a href="isdn/index.html"> ISDN report</a> (updated monthly)

Of course, you have to adjust the anchor to match your HTML location.

To test the script, copy the ISDN logfile to a safe place, and do,
as normal user (so you can't mess up any important files), something like:

./account.isdn -htmldir . -logfile /safe/place/isdn.log

and watch for errors. If no error occurs, you should be able to view
the resulting HTML file by doing 'lynx index.html'.
