[quote="The Plague of Death":b61ba] I was wondering if there is a way to make a stats program work with linux or not.[/quote:b61ba]

Absolutely. Is this linux machine at home or hosted? If at home I'd try aestats under WINE ([url="http://www.winehq.org"]http://www.winehq.org[/url]) first, failing that write a script in perl, which by the way could be used on a hosted server too. Have your host give you the path to perl (usually /usr/bin/ or maybe /usr/local/bin) Then have them set the script to run periodically as a CRON job.

You could even do it from another machine (windows) using DOS to parse the log by getting a copy via scripted command-line FTP.

Now that I think of it.... I do believe aestats comes with both windoze and unix/linux binaries.
