I got this running with boggseric's summary last night.
I'd like to point out
this old Orban post, which I found helpful. It's a little out of date, so don't follow the instructions word for word. But it fills in some helpful background information like creating the counter tables.
It's also worth mentioning that I did have to make a few changes to the cron files to get them working properly. It's not a big deal, but helpful to know for those that aren't familiar with shell scripts and would like to plug and play. I'll post my files with comments after I get them cleaned up.
