Thanks, Stefan. The path of least resistance for me is to use the script you
pointed me to. However, it seems that the exclude feature is not yet
implemented:
try:
if args[0] == 'include':
sys.exit(analyze_logs(map(sanitize_path, targets)))
elif args[0] == 'exclude':
usage_and_exit("Feature not implemented")
else:
usage_and_exit("Valid subcommands are 'include' and 'exclude'")
Is there a more recent version of this script?
