Another way to do what Ben does is to update the local exit LSV$GETQ EXEC to record the information if the request will be approved. We also then supply some simple local commands which allow the owners of the various data collections to retrieve information on file use. Right now it is very crude - I just match against the filename/type in the monthly log files that LSV$GETQ creates (the name of the file includes the year and month so they don't get too bit). I restrict these to owners because the requesting user address is included. I had always intended a generalized statistics report which would be public but never had time/motivation/need to do that.
