So, I’ve added a exit-handler routine to build-gnuradio to try to capture some basic statistics about success/failure when the script is run. I’d like some suggestions about automating uploading of this one-liner of stats data to some website somewhere so that I can review it. Maybe something we can turn on on the [gnuradio.org](http://gnuradio.org) website? I can’t use e-mail, because that would involve grokking the callers local e-mail environment. And that would have privacy implications. – Marcus L.

You could ask in the script if the user wants to send feedback via email or not, with the default set to no. Otherwise, any automated system would likely be negatively perceived. That said, I could see having an email processing bot on [gnuradio.org](http://gnuradio.org) turn received emails into a statistics page, said bot being written by you of course 🙂 ---

I don’t want to add even more work to my workload, but I would like to understand what fraction of build-gnuradio invocations are failing, and why. – Marcus L.

So, given that my website maintains raw access logs that are available to me, I’ve updated build-gnuradio to do a wget call to a non-actually-there .php so that I can grab some parameters that will show up in the raw logs, that I can process from time to time. Easy peasy. The exit() handler in Gnu Radio now asks you politely if you’d like to contribute to the stats, but it doesn’t force it. – Marcus L.

Hi, I would solve this with a small PHP Script on the webserver (or whatever scripting language is available on the webserver). The script can evaluate the called URL including parameters. So in the build gnuradio script you would call something like this wget [http://example.com/script.php?param1=5¶m2=pi](http://example.com/script.php?param1=5¶m2=pi) The Script on the webserver will now have access to param1 and param2 and can store them in a Database, or whatever you would like to do and can return (echo) a few charakters (e.g. 1 ok, 0 malformed parameter). This way the build gnuradio script can then evaluate the content of the downloaded file to see if anything went wrong. For this to work you only need HTTP access to the script webserver on the install PC. Many PCs are behind Firewalls that drop traffic on Port 25 if you try to use Email, but port 80 is almost always oppen. I also agree with Jonathan, that sending back feedback should be a opt-in decision during the installation. Yours Martin Am 28.05.2013 18:30, schrieb Johnathan C.:
