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, usenet.  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.
