RE: [Perl-unix-users] To find number of times each script is used.

[John_Ramsden]

 

One obvious solution would be to copy your scripts into a subdirectory, called subdir

in the following example, and replace the originals with links to a 'front end' script

comprising something like the following, where app_incr.pl is a script that updates

a table record for a supplied key (the script name $0):

 

   perl app_incr.pl  "$0"

 

   "./subdir/$0"  "$1"  "$2"  "$3"  ....

 

where you include as many "$" variables as the maximum number of arguments

which will be used with any of your scripts.

 

(You need to quote each argument, to ensure that originally quoted arguments

e.g. for values with embedded spaces, remain correct when they get inside

the original scripts.)

 

 

Cheers

Sounds like what you need is an IDS (intrusion detection) agent.  Since they constantly watch file access and modification you could set them to trigger a counter of some type.  If you're wanting to do this with Perl it would be difficult unless you essentially wrote and IDS agent in Perl.  Cron isn't granular enough to achieve the desired results as scripts could be executed multiple times within a single minute so your count would be inaccurate.

Hello All

I have a peculiar requirement. I have scripts in some directory. I want to log , how many times each script is executed.I dont want to change existing scripts, i mean dont want to add SIGNAL trapping for all  these scripts as i have many scripts in this directory.  I can keep a crontab and find the access time of each script.But the problem is I want the exact  number of times each script is used.  How to do exception handling for this situation and I want to do it on Unix.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
