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.

       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.

BUGS

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