The status page is a very nice feature, but it is by no means always 100% accurate. Like previously stated, it starts getting screwy if the server is reset.
Tell you what, since Windows users don't know (or rather have) teh magical "touch" command, I guess I'll add a touch/reset functionality to the status script itself.
I have found on mine that sometimes a player will connect and get their .trn file, then work it offline for a later upload. The problem is that the .2h updates when they grab their .trn

Ive had to touch -t 01010101 ea_rlyeh.2h (or whatever) to get the status page to read correctly.

I could tail -1 the game.log and read the connections line.

to see that Oceania hadnt actually uploaded actions. But thats more hassle then Im willing to do right now.

Not sure if that applies to your script but since Ive been in that boat I thought Id mention it.
