The question was whether the JNET software for BITNET kept logfiles. Well,
it does infact keep fairly good logfiles. They are of the form:
site-name.LOG
where site-name is the name the site(s) to which you have links. For
example if you had a link to a hypothetical system SYS01 the daemons
write log entries into SYS01.LOG. The file(s) are located in JAN_SYS
(whatever you define it as) and are created when the JNET daemons are
first started up. After that entries are appended to the existing file(s).
Here are a few lines of a log file we have that you might use to write an
accounting program around: The links here is between YMIR and 4CCVAX and the
log file is JAN_SYS:YMIR.LOG.

The entries seem to have the types:
I - Informational
L - Link-to-link mail and file transfer (VMS MAIL hooks)
C - Remote command (SEND/COMMAND)
? - Illegal command or routing
The PUNCH file entries are generated from a file transfer.
I haven't seen any other types in our logfiles.
Hope this is of some help. I haven't seen any documentation on any of
this, but it look pretty straight forward. By the way, our BITNET link
runs great over DECnet and we are still waiting for a link to our local
IBM system that will allow us to talk to the rest of the world.

P.s. If you do get a working accounting program would you be willing
to distribute it?
