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.
