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.
