Hi,

Thought i'd be better posting this under scripting..

I've setup a hotspot that supplies free internet using the trial option and I would like to get some info (like how many users have logged on daily), but because they are trial accounts (and not saved in Userman) I can't run any reports. I would like to run a script every evening that would export the hotspot user list and email it.

Can anyone help? If you can script this, I can pay for your time.

Thanks,

Barry.

In my setup i give free internet for 1:30 hour with trial method.
I keep a file "connections.txt" witch keeps the total number of users logged in.
I use an other program to download the file with ftp and get my daily and my total reports

Hi nick3dos,

Thanks for the reply.

If it's possible I'd rather have the text file with the user list emailed, so I can send it directly to the site owner and they can then import to excel for their reports. They wouldn't know how to use FTP and I would have to do it for them.

Do you think this is possible.?

Barry.

use the settings below (ofcourse you have to change username and password of your email account):

Thanks nick3dos,

I copied your connections script, but I don't know if I'm missing something from the picture as it's running and not creating the .txt

Thanks nick3dos,

I forgot to tell you...
You have to make the starting file, so...
just create the text file "connections.txt" in your windows pc and just write the number 0 in the file and save it.
finally drag and drop it in your mikrotik files...

I worked that out myself after replying last

So if I understand correctly now, I run this script every time someone logs in and it increments the number in the txt?

yes, everytime someone logs in, the number in the file goes +1

Do you know if there's anyway of running the print command under users and saving that to txt?

Thanks.

what do you want to print?
usernames that have logged in during the day?

if so, you have to make a new script to keep it in a text file, but you have to check for duplicate usernames and looged out usernames.

It is more complicated script....

Hi nick3dos,

Thanks for your time on this.

I would like to save the output of ip hotspot users print, but the file would need reset after sending the email. The hotspot is in a shopping mall and it's set to give an hour free reset after 12hrs.

thanks.

As i understand you need something like that:

For saving the online users to file For saving the hotspot users to file To reset the file Use this commands in scripts before and after sending the email.

Hi nick3dos,

Could you post the code from the email script, not sure if I'm spacing things correctly as it's not running.

Thanks,

Barry.

Got it, I didn't have a space right

Again, thanks for your help with this.

    \n:local name [/system identity get name];\r\

    \n\r\
    \n"

how can i include my users bytes in and out and limit bytes total in this file, can i have it easier to read????
thanks alot

This is the script I use for sending the email.

/ip hotspot user print detail file=connections.txt

#get name date and time
:local name [/system identity get name];
:local date [/system clock get date];
:local time [/system clock get time];

#make subject message
:local sub ($name . " - " . $time . " - " . $date);

#Make message body
:local bod ("Please find attached a text file containing todays user usage stats, this can be imported into excel");

/tool e-mail send to="you@yourdomain.com" subject=$sub body=$bod file="connections.txt";


I run this as a script to reset the connections.txt file

/file set connections.txt contents=""

And here's the content of the connections.txt file

1 D server=hotspot1 name="T-1A:2A:3A:4A:5A:6A" password=""
