Admin page (black) - Questions

[HansinUngarn]

Hello Everybody,

I am running my station Radio Pécs International since 2008, and I have a few questions I've never asked before. I apologize if the answers were already given (cannot find them here).

1. While on the admin page (black), I noticed that all of a sudden the number of listeners goes up when I play certain tracks. When they are finished, those IPs disappear. How can this be? Do they connect automatically when their favourites are played? Very strange.

2. The log files make a pretty long list. Of course, I only view the tail, but how can I delete those old logs which go back many years?

3. I banned quite a few IPs. But why do they still come back, trying to connect, disconnecting, trying again and again? Others are obviously computers because I cannot get in contact with them, a thing I always try to do, greeting them on the stream via mic.
It's obvious because I cannot imagine a listener tuning in from the U.S. east coast at
4 a.m. (EST). Here are just two examples: 78.47.12.238 and 54.197.169.209

Thank you very much indeed for any enlighting reply. Kind regards from Hungary,
Hans
