I tried this and it works: r...@smoker / # genlop -f /var/log/emerge.log -f /var/log/emerge.log.old1 -c using logfile /var/log/emerge.log using logfile /var/log/emerge.log.old1 Currently merging 1 out of 1 * kde-base/kpat-3.5.10 current merge time: 18 seconds. ETA: 1 minute and 42 seconds. r...@smoker / # So, if I point it to both log files, it sorts out the info rather nicely. Neat huh? I wouldn't have thought of that without you explaining how it works tho. Thanks much ! ! Dale :-) :-)
