To calculate the number of times a script has been run

Hello,

I have a script that is been used by multiple users. I wish to know the total number of times my script has been used.

Regards

Suhas

    Presumably you'd just need to add something in the code to record each time it is run. Not sure what else you're asking for? (there's no magic built-in usage tracker)

    Hi Sushas,

    You want to know this for all users and across multiple virtuoso sessions (and maybe reboots) don't you? I don't see any other way than to save this information in a physical file - even that is challenging because you need to make sure that only one user at a time is writing to that file, in other words you need to set up a file locking mechanism. Or you write to user specific files (with the file names reflecting the userid).

    May - just out of curiosity - know what you need this information for?
