Monthly script for reporting anonymous statistics about your machine

Description

BSDstats is an attempt to produce reasonably accurate statistics on deployments of BSD operating systems. This is useful for marketing, project advocacy, hardware vendors and purchasers, device driver maintainers, and port maintainers.

The major problem that we are trying to address is vendors who do not feel that BSD operating systems present enough of a market to bother supporting.

Meant to be run monthly or during bootup, this script submits statistics anonymously to a central server (http://bsdstats.org). Potentially sensitive details like IP addresses and hostnames are not stored by or relayed through the BSDstats server.

To enable monthly reporting, add this line to /etc/periodic.conf:

To disable parts of reporting, add these lines to /etc/periodic.conf:
	monthly_statistics_report_devices="NO"
	monthly_statistics_report_ports="NO"

To limit which ports are being submitted:
	create /usr/local/etc/bsdstats.conf and list ports to report in
	the form ${category}/${portname}, one entry per line. It is also
	possible to use the special self explanatory keyword "all-ports".
Example:
	sysutils/bsdstats
	ports-mgmt/pkg

To enable reporting on bootup, add this line to /etc/rc.conf:
	bsdstats_enable="YES"

To run it manually any time:
	bsdstats-send

To view current statistics, go to:

You can build bsdstats with TOR port option to submit anonymously

BSDstats is now disabled by default, to enable monthly reporting, add
this line to /etc/periodic.conf:
