Editing IRStats Technical Documentation (section)

== /opt/irstats/bin ==
Contains the scripts needed to update the table.

*daily_update.sh - Runs all the scripts in the right order.
*extract_metadata_from_archive.pl - Extracts eprint, author and group metadata from the repository by iterating over every eprint.
*update_table.pl - Filters and processes new entries in the accesslog to update the irstats_true_acesses_table.  Uses 'SearchParser.pm' and 'repeatscache'.
* convert_ip_to_host.pl - Attempts to convert ip addresses of the new entries in irstats_true_acesses_table to hostnames.  Uses 'host_updated' to keep track of where it got to last time.

Note that most of these scripts probably need to be tidied up.  They were written in a hurry and were never polished.
