• estimate_hits_per_hour

Description

Return a numeric estimate of the number of hits that will be served in the next hour. Works by seeking back approximately 1000 hits into the log file and sees how long ago it was, to extrapolate hits-per-hour. If there are fewer than 1000 hits in the access log file, it will return 0.
