The following solution works:
I set my user-agent to:
VerseOfTheDaySitemapRobot/1.0 (http://www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info)
By doing:
ini_set('user_agent', "VerseOfTheDaySitemapRobot/1.0
(http://www.TheVerseOfTheDay.info)");
When ran by a cron job this causes AWSTATS to treat the hits as:
Unknown robot (identified by 'robot') 9704+18 284.82 MB 30 Nov 2010 -
07:12
The part which tricked me is that if I run the site map generator PHP script
using a user interface the hits on the site are credited to the Firefox (the
browser I use) user-agent string. The following article discusses how to
change browser user agents:
