[OZAPRS] Multiple connects update

[Phillip]

Hi all,
              Jeremy has produced a log file now for the dupe connections ..
 
1 thing it pays to check the http://oregon.aprs2.net/duplconn.html 
twice over an 1 hour period, this then allows for a true indication of a
station 
that has multi connects.
 
If a station disconnects from 1 APRS-IS then reconnects to another within
the 
scan period 30 minutes it will show a False multi connect .
 
So in short if the scan is happening and the above also happens this can
produce
a FALSE multi connect for that 1 hour period , this clears on the next scan

Sorry this took me so long Phillip, but it took some architectural
changes that I had to do some research on to pull off.  The script now
saves its historic output at http://oregon.aprs2.net/dupes.  The files
are named after the date and time they were created in YYYYMMDD-HHMM
format.  The old link at http://oregon.aprs2.net/duplconn.html always
points to the newest run of the script.
 
The script also now employs multi-threading.  It forks off a thread
for each server at the start of the run to do the fetch operations
from the status pages.  This allows all of these to run in parallel,
rather than series.  This should reduce the amount of time that the
script is running and reduce the number of false positives that we get
because a client changes servers in the middle of a run.  The pages
now will tell you at the bottom how long it took that particular run
to complete.  It's typically 10 seconds now, but it could be a bit
longer if a server is pokey, or not available (the server timeout is
15 seconds).
 
As always, the source to the script is located in my SVN repository at;
 
https://www.xenotropic.com/ham-svn/javaprssrvr_scripts/duplconn.pl
 
Note that you can use the URL to download the script without the use
of Subversion.  If you do have svn, the repository is read-only to
anonymous users, and you can check out a copy yourself to see the
commits and such.
