mailman-subscriber-count

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wrote a generic script for keeping a running count of all the subscribers on all the lists on a Mailman server. It is written to be run as e.g. a cronjob directly on the Mailman server. It updates a set of CSV files with data each day. https://github.com/quaid/mailman-subscriber-count For lists.ovirt.org, it's currently set to run at 12:45 am each day, and puts output in to individual CSV files in /root/mailman-data/. This first variation on the script also does a count of the subscribers who are @redhat.com. The script can be hacked for counting other domains, but is only written to be hardcoded for the domain-specific subscribers. I'm sure there are many better ways to do this, and there may even be other tools that do this. I was struck with a clear vision of how to do this in bash and wanted to make that happen, even if I'm reinventing some wheels here. It's really nothing special, but it was fun to get it working right. If anyone wants to show me how to do it better, or reimplement it in a better scripting language, patches and pull-requests are welcome. - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth Red Hat Open Source and Standards (OSAS) http://TheOpenSourceWay.org @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) | gpg: AD0E0C41
