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

       command

EXIT STATUS
       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.

AUTHOR
       This  program,  its manual page,	and the	Debian package were written by
       Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>.

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