I'm in the process of creating a script, have plagiarized some thing from scipts on the site. Here are two lines from one of the scripts from the site:
text=Today you have been available for {#TotalToday} hours.
text=Yesterday you were available for {#TotalYesterday} hours
These are returning 1 second. Can you tell me what I'm missing?
Second question. Years ago, I played briefly with VM. I vaguely remember a program that was designed to parse out all the operation details, and only let the slave know somethings. I know we can do something like that with "Restrict=". You could call the report program from VM for the slave. Am I completely out of my mind, or just a little bit?
Thanks

Hi DW.
Probably you are missing to put a value in the counters #TotalToday and #TotalYesterday.
I don't understand the second question. You can use Restrict to hide details for the sub. But I don't understand whet else you want.

I think you might be referring to a program that essentially took the report and cleaned out some of the extraneous detail and put it into a more visually appealing format...it was called VMR (VirMstReporter) and I believe it was by a user named Sheldon (posting as cooper1337). I don't know where you'd get your hands on it these days, though. I don't think he's been active in the group for years but I could be wrong.
If you find the restrict function doesn't restrict enough, you can also (with much more work) create a custom 'report card' using variables to track whatever indicators you want and then either displaying them in the program window using text= lines or sending them as an email to the master or the sub at regular intervals or as requested. That takes a fair bit more work to set up, however. Then remove access to the report entirely.
