Usage(tst and makefeedmap):

1. Edit a tst (inside of collect-sw package) script to specify the database location.
   Example: $db ="/var/log/news/tstdb";
2. Edit 'newsfeeds' of INN.
   Example: TST:!*,fj.*,japan.*:Tc,WH:/usr/news/local/tst
   You should specify the newsgroup you want to collect the data. In this example the newsgroup fj.* and japan.* are collected.
3. Reload the newsfeeds.
   Example : % ctlinnd reload newsfeeds tst
   Now, tstdb.dir and tstdb.pag are created in the directory /var/log/news/. Waiting for a while, Path will be accumulated on tstdb.pag.
4. Drop on a file When it is gathered suitably. Before using tst_out, it is necessary to set up tst_out.
   Example # $dbp1: database directory specified in tst
   $dbp1 = "/var/log/news/log/";
   # $dbp2: working directory
   $dbp2 = "/var/log/news/log/db/";
   # $dbnam: database filename specified in tst
   $dbnam = "tstdb";
   # $cflush: command of 'ctlinnd flush'
   $cflush="/usr/news/bin/ctlinnd flush";
   # $host: hostname
   $host='foo.bar.com'
5. Execute tst_out.
   Example: tst_out -f
   This makes "tstdata" in the directory $dbp2. You can see if this file contains a data like following. Site: foo.bar.com
   Total: 10714
   tamaru-news!kuee-news!9289
   kuee-news!kuis-news!1398
   * If you see only "Total:" in the file, change the value $cutoff in "tst_out" into smaller value.
6. Setup cron to periodically start tst_out.
   Example: 30 23 * * 0 /usr/news/local/tst_out >/dev/null 2>&1
7. execute "makefeedmap" to make gif figure
   Example: % makefeedmap /var/log/news/db/tstdata >output.gif
