Request from S50U:

A few years ago I worked on a similar web interface for DXSpider. It might make sense to add a feature to the server version—perhaps under "Status"—that lists all current users and nodes on our "Spot Provider" Node. I'm attaching a piece of code that a "Spot provider" could use or implement and which could be enabled as needed. DXSpider commands in use are SH/VERSION and WHO.

In the DXSpider version 560 onwards the 'WHO' command has been slightly modified. The 'State' field has been added to allow sysops to diagnose some connection initialisation problems. Also the 'Type' field label has been changed for partner nodes running CCuster software to the 'NODE CCCL'. I have added some examples where I replaced IP's with xxxx within 'Link' field for security reasons only. The output table will need to be reorganised.

Maybe you could also parsing the DXSpider version like DXSpider v1.57 build 560 under users & nodes online line with the SH/VERSION command:

DXSpider v1.57 (build 560 git: mojo/d10e1590[r]) using perl v5.34.0 on Linux

Here is my work done. Find the corrected scripts in the zip file.

added SW: DXSpider version
added Rbn skimmers feed count

output Users & Nodes table reorganised
skiping telnet_user callsign from the table
