NAME
       writelog - add a entry to an INN log file.

SYNOPSIS
       writelog name text...

DESCRIPTION
       The writelog script is used to write a log entry or send it as mail.
       The name parameter specifies the name of the log file where the entry
       should be written.  If it is the word ``mail'' then the entry is mailed
       to the news administrator,
       <USER specified with --with-news-master at configure>.  The data that
       is written or sent consists of the text given on the command line,
       followed by standard input indented by four spaces.  Shlock(1) is used
       to avoid simultaneous updates to a single log file.
