OK. How do I reliably get month and year out of the file?
Month I can get from the newsyslog output it puts in the logs,
getting year without doing some sort of nasty kludge is hard.
m=$(zfgrep "logfile turned over" "$file" | tail -n 1 | cut -b 1-3)
I'm using www/visitors to produce something meaningful from those
logs, and I would like to generate stats just once for a certain
time period so I can later see stats further than one year that newsyslog
keeps.

I told I'm using visitors.
