===== Customisation ===== One can also customise/fine tune the task further by exporting it, default export format is XML. Then can edit in favourite text editor and reimport when done. May be useful in particular for fine tuning the repetition times of the task. ==== MAC: Using crontab (advised) ==== Automating the run of CumulusUtils on the MAC is typically done through [https://share.google/aimode/CMq6jMIq3FvXLT8bn ''crontab'']. The link is a Google Gemini shortcut which offers more batch options on the MAC. The advise is to use ''crontab'' to have support available. Below is the crontab on RPi of the author of CumulusUtils to be used as an '''example'''! ===== For dotnet ===== 05 1 * * * cd /home/CumulusMX; /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet utils/bin/cumulusutils.dll thrifty website 1-51/10 * * * * cd /home/CumulusMX; /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet utils/bin/cumulusutils.dll sysinfo UserAskedData UserReports == Additional remarks == #(on NOT Windows) When mono is already active (as daemon or from command line in another process) you can start any mono executable without having it prepended by the mono command. As normally (if you did not uninstall it) xsp4 is running as a daemon, mono is always available so you can run mono executables as normal linux executables. You won't notice the difference. However if you don't have the x bit set, you get access refused when trying to execute. Without the x bit set you have to prepend mono as in: ''mono utils/bin/cumulusutils.exe''. Then it executes without the x bit set because then it is an argument to the mono command. #CumulusUtils is written in C#, HTML and javascript. All HTML and javascript is embedded in the C# code and generated on execution of ''CumulusUtils''. The cumuluscharts.txt charts library was based on the cumuluscharts.js originally distributed with ''CumulusMX'', probably the version a bit before April 2020 and has been modified since. With the appearance of the [[ChartsCompiler]] the name cumuluscharts.txt has been preserved but the technique of creating the charts has been changed. #As CumulusUtils itself runs in the Cumulus directory, the data directory (data) is one level below. CumulusUtils currently uses - a copy of - dayfile.txt, the monthly logfiles and incidentally the alltime.ini file. It also takes information from Cumulus.ini. All output is written to the utils/ subdirectory. All logs are created in the utils/utilslog/ subdirectory. It also uses the AirLink.log and the ExtraLog files in a similar way when the user has such devices. #CumulusUtils can output for many languages. See the specific page on [[Language in CumulusUtils\|language in CumulusUtils]]. #Development of CumulusUtils started in 9<sup>th</sup> of August 2019 with an initial commit of the Top10 written in C. Development changed rapidly to C# with an initial commit of Top10 on November 19 2019 of version 0.7.0. The rest of the history can be read in the [[Release Notes\|release notes]]. #~~Users can~~Please, present ~~themselves~~yourselves on the CumulusUtils [[Map - Users of CumulusUtils\|usermap]]~~.
