What is the cutoff time on the Borg pproxy?

When does flushing switch to the next day?

Is this time the same to have one's blocks count for the daily total at dnet?
 
From what I have found with the pproxy program since I run my own, they all turn over at the same time - 0:00 GMT (or UTC). Since Russ is hosting the Borg's pproxy if I'm not mistaken and he's in the Seattle area which is on PDT, then midnite UTC is 17:00 hrs PDT (or 5pm). Dennis - not sure where in Canada you are but it would be 6pm MDT, 7pm CDT or 8pm EDT.

The pproxy is configurable to flush after receiving so many blocks but I'm looking for a way myself to maybe have it flush whatever it has just before the turnover. I haven't delved enough into the docs to determine whether there's a commandline parameter like the client, that will tell it to -flush (and then that could be setup as a Task in windoze or cron job in *nix), but my initial read-through didn't find anything. I know the pproxy can be restarted without shutting it down via a <CTL><BREAK> and that will flush it too, but other than that, I'm at a loss.
 
Poof, if your pproxy is on one of those lovely linux boxen just add to your crontab
killall -ALRM proxyper the alrm signal tells the proxy to make an outgoing connection 😉 Hope that helps. If it is in windows I dont know.
 
efun - it's on winblows unfortunately... :Q

😉

My ppstats on the other hand, is on my alpha's linux... 😀
 
🙁 You really should do somethign about that, but here we go from the docs a ctrl-break does both a HUP and an ALRM so it rereads your ini file and causes an outgoing server connection. But I dont know how to set windows up to do that at 11:30 gmt every day. Sorry

edit: question though, why are you running your pproxy on a different box from yoru ppstats?
