Example usage: pflogsumm.pl /var/log/mail.log **outputs statistics for the current log file pflogsumm.pl -d today /var/log/mail.log **outputs statistics for today only pflogsumm.pl -d yesterday /var/log/mail.log **outputs statistic for yesterday only pflogsumm.pl /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.log.0 /var/log/mail.log.1 **you can specify multiple logs files, but not the rotated (zipped) files. pflogsumm.pl doesn't call gunzip or anything fancy. The input files must be text only. You should put pflogsumm.pl in /usr/sbin/. Don't move it to the mail log dir, that's silly. You should also install the manual. -- Stan
