I’m moving to a new server, and I’m new to Plesk. I just figured out how to migrate years of Awstats data files and was irritated by the random menu order. It’s especially an issue if there are more than a couple of months. A Google search brought me here. And your script is just what I needed.

However, I too would like to have text months rather than numbers, so I set out to tweak your script. Although I do have a programming background, this is my first attempt at shell programming. There’s probably a better way to do this, but here is what I came up with.

Add the following line near the top where the other variables are set. Use full months instead of abbreviated ones if you prefer. MONTHS=(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec)

Add the following 4 lines at line 48. for MONTH in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 do sed -i “s/-printf '%.2d' $MONTH</ ${MONTHS[MONTH-1]}</g” nav_options.html done

The above changes only the display months and not the values so it doesn’t affect function at all. I haven’t tested the original or edited script via cron yet, but it works from the command line.

Hope it helps someone else.

As far as I know the month thing is not fixed in Plesk either but my solution still works as is.

I have uploaded the file to here: http://www.bigsoft.co.uk/projects/sample-code/plesk-awstats-nav-fixer.sh

You will see that the following “ed” line finishes with EOF: ed nav_nooptions.html << EOF and all the lines to the corresponding EOF marker are how they would appear in the file that would have been piped in.

To correct the problem move the EOF marker so that it is the only text on the line and it starts at the beginning of the line.
