It's a very interesting looking tool. The links on your web page are quite useful. However, I am a little puzzled by your choice of development language(s). I understand it in a theoretical sense. However: ~/tmp/dlog-0.9.8b$ wc *.[lyh12] 4598 11903 117593 total wc qmailmrtg7-4.2/*.* 1077 2769 28913 total wc tinydns-rrd-0.50/tinydns-rrd 345 1058 10014 tinydns-rrd-0.50/tinydns-rrd Obviously the line counts are not a completely fair comparison but it seems that the tools are progressively less accessible (perl, C, lex +yacc) and the code seems to become *more* complex (though each tool covers more different logs). Is it really necessary to have a different program for each log or is it just easier to do it that way ? > > -Skaarup -- --gh
