logprn(1)                          logtools                          logprn(1)


NAME

       logprn - merge Common-Log Format web logs based on time-stamps


SYNOPSIS

       logprn logfile idle-time[:max-wait] command


DESCRIPTION

       The logprn program is designed to print new data that is appended to
       log files.  It will wait until a specified amount of time has elapsed
       since the last write to the file before printing the data.  It will
       print the data by pipeing it to a specified command.  The command will
       be run by popen(3) so the usual shell commands will operate (whether
       this is a bug or a feature is a matter of opinion).


OPTIONS

       logfile
              specifies a file to read data from.  It should be a regular file
              not a pipe, device, or anything else.

       idle-time

       max-wait

       command


EXIT STATUS

       0 Never happens, this program will run forever.

       1 Bad command-line parameters or couldn't stat the log file on startup
       - couldn't start the program.

       2 File disappeared or became unreadable at run-time.

       3 Can't run the specified command.

BUGS

       Uses popen (3) but I consider this a feature not a bug.
