  • Daily Statistics Reset

    From Jamaica Joe@VERT/JJOES702 to All on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 07:21:56
    Hi all,

    I noticed on my statistics that they don't reset daily and they are the same values as the lifetime values (total calls, time on, etc). I searched through to see if there was some nightly event I'm not running, or if there's a setting I didn't flip but I'm having zero success.

    Has anyone encountered this and any tips on getting the daily numbers to reset?

    Thanks.

    Joe

    There was a recent discussion here where a sysop was having issue with their logon lists and stats not resetting/rolling-over daily (search for "dsts") - and I think they fixed it by updating to the latest release of Synchronet (v3.20b). The file of interest (in Synchronet v3.20b) is ctrl/dsts.ini.

    Thanks for the tip. I am running the latest version of Synchronet and was the only version I've ever installed. What I found in the DSTS.INI file was the top line had an entry of date=never. I changed "never" to yesterday's date, a few minutes later the file already changed to today's date and the statistics all reset for the current day.

    Interesting. That should normally be necessary to do.

    Did you mean shouldn't?

    Yup: should *not* normally be necessary to do. :-)
