Each vhost can have its own set of logs at the start that then would not need to be pulled apart. Is this a possible scenario for you going forward? (granted it doesn't help now). It would seem that your task would be better handled with shell script possibly since you already have the command line for creating the file(s) from the main log, so then just wrap that command in a foreach that takes your directory names as input. Something along the lines of: #!/bin/sh for dir in `ls -1 /webroot/`; do cat /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep "$dir" > /var/log/httpd/access_log_$dir done I am no shell hacker and the above is untested, but you get the idea. In general Perl would not be a good choice for performing something so simple that already has a command line solution available. If you were going to do it in Perl, rather than looking for each vhost in the log file, you would be better off unpacking or splitting, etc. the log line and storing that line to an array that is associated with the particular vhost in the log line and then printing each vhost's array to a file, or you would have to open a filehandle for each vhost at the beginning of the script and then just print the line to whichever filehandle is associated with a particular vhost. Stepping through every line of the log file foreach of the vhosts in Perl would probably be a really bad way to handle things. I would still suggest letting Apache do the splitting by not storing one main log with all vhost content, it is much easier to put the logs back together to get a complete picture than it is to disect them after the fact. http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
