I’ve got some work to do this coming weekend with which this will make much easier.

Cheers

Here’s the code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# this program will scan the logs created by vlogger,
# create an awstat configuration file for each of them
# and then execute an update of the awstats statistics
#
# it assumes that vlogger rotation is disabled (-n option)
# a good way is to rotate the logs with logrotate and run
# this program in the prerotate directive
# this shold be done if you dont want to lose any record in the rotation
#
# you can run this program as often as you need as a cron job
#
# Apache log facility setting:
# LogFormat “%v %h %l %u %t \”%r\” %>s %b \”%{Referer}i\” \”%{User-Agent}i\”" combined
# CustomLog “| /usr/sbin/vlogger -n -s access.log -t access.log /var/log/apache2″ combined
#
# This program is based on the idea from dave
# http://davelozier.com/2008/06/20/awstats-vlogger/
