[Summary-Talk] Wish we could leave it running

[Jeff Whitmill <jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're using Summary Pro 2.5.2a. We'd like to be able to just leave it 
running, having it automatically run stats once a day.

This odes not seem to be possible. A first run after launching usually 
goes well. After that, it's iffy. It usually takes no more than another 
run or two to generate a page of errors opening log files it read 
earlier without complaint. At this point, connecting to the overview 
page produces a page void of data.

One of our clients is very unhappy when they try to get stats and 
can't. My boss wants me to have Summary write the stats to HTML files - 
which we used to do - but that's such a processor-intensive process, 
and the wear and tear on the hard drive is enormous. I'd prefer to be 
able to just leave it sitting there, but that option doesn't appear to 
be open to us.

Is there something I can do to massage either the logs or Summary to 
make it work the way I want? We're running WebSTAR 5.3.2 on Mac OS 
10.3.2. Logs are generally gzipped.

Thanks,

Jeff Whitmill
