Life on the [ns_info server] server


There are a total of [llength $connections] requests being served right now (to $distinct distinct IP addresses). Note that this number seems to include only the larger requests. Smaller requests, e.g., for .html files and in-line images, seem to come and go too fast for this program to catch.

Here's what uptime has to say about the box:

$uptime_output
" foreach connection $connections { ns_write $conn "
conn #client IPstatemethodurln seconds
[join $connection ]" } ns_write $conn "
