Proxy or Other Log Manage via Web with Squint

Install Squint and Adopt Your system this way
========================== royalmcuc@yahoo.com

REQUIREMENTS
=>Squid proxy server
=>Perl (/usr/bin/perl)
=> Apache (to view documents), or a local web browser
=>Lotsa CPU time (it is very inefficient) (did I mention that it
is inefficient?)

Steps of INSTALLATION

        1) Download squint from web
         www.ledge.co.za/software/squint/squint.tar.gz

2) # tar -zxvf squint.tar.gz
cd squint
          make
          make install
          make init
          make example
        3) # cp squint.pl squint.cron.sh /usr/local/bin
Install the binaries in a nice place

4) squint.cron.sh init
This creates a place for the reports in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs (or
whereever the htdocs directory is found). It installs a crontab entry
to run the report daily, weekly and monthly. You may wish to edit the
crontab entry first -- the system has not been optimised for security,
and runs (unnecessarily) as the user root, rather than the user squid.

5) # squint.cron.sh all
Create current daily, weekly and monthly reports -- don't do this
twice! -- the reports get rotated every time you run the task, so
things can get a little messy.

6) # squint.cron.sh regen
Recreate all the reports for your initial system, and also
for when the program manges to mess things up.

Install Squint
==============

First things first:
-------------------

[ Update: REPORTS has been removed - important environment variables are now
BASEDIR (reports) and LOGDIR (squid logs) ]

After you have unpacked the squint-xxxxxxxx.tar.gz file, go into the
directory that was created. Before you install squint, check and edit
the squint.cron.sh file to reflect the correct paths to where you want
things to be put. Pay special attention to the REPORTS variable (line 3)
for a valid path to your HTML document root, and the "find" statement on
line 45 to point to the correct directory where your squid stores it's
logs.

Installing the software:
------------------------

Simply run "make install", and make will put things in /usr/local/bin

Installing the crontab entry:
-----------------------------

Normally you can do this yourself, but the Makefile allows you to install
it automatically by running "make init". This will add an entry to the
bottom of the /etc/crontab file, as well as run the squint analyzer to
create you your first set of files in the HTML directory you have specified.
Your crontab entry should look something like this:

      7) squint squid reports
Edit crontab
        30 14 * * Fri root /usr/local/bin/squint.cron.sh weekly
00 01 * 1 * root /usr/local/bin/squint.cron.sh monthly
00 01 * * * root /usr/local/bin/squint.cron.sh daily
