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

       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.
