logprn(1) [debian man page]

NAME
logprn - merge Common-Log Format web logs based on time-stamps SYNOPSIS
logprn logfile idle-time[:max-wait] command DESCRIPTION
The logprn program is designed to print new data that is appended to log files. It will wait until a specified amount of time has elapsed since the last write to the file before printing the data. It will print the data by pipeing it to a specified command. The command will be run by popen(3) so the usual shell commands will operate (whether this is a bug or a feature is a matter of opinion). OPTIONS
logfile specifies a file to read data from. It should be a regular file not a pipe, device, or anything else. idle-time max-wait command EXIT STATUS
0 Never happens, this program will run forever. 1 Bad command-line parameters or couldn't stat the log file on startup - couldn't start the program. 2 File disappeared or became unreadable at run-time. 3 Can't run the specified command. AUTHOR
This program, its manual page, and the Debian package were written by Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>. BUGS
Uses popen (3) but I consider this a feature not a bug. SEE ALSO

NAME
portslave - terminal server program. SYNOPSIS
portslave [+config-file] port|- DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the portslave, program. This program is a getty replacement that will run it's own version of pppd, the user can specify their user-name via a login: prompt or PPP PAP negotiation. After the username and password have been supplied the user will be authenticated by the RADIUS protocol. OPTIONS
An optional first parameter is '+config-file' to specify an alternate config file. The default is /etc/portslave/pslave.conf . The next parameter is either the port number or '-'. The value '-' means that portslave is to use it's controlling tty as the serial device and inspect the config file to find the RADIUS port number which matches that. This was originally written for telnetd support (telnetd puts a '-' as the first command line parameter) but can be used for other things. To run over the telnet protocol put a config entry similar to the following in your inetd configuration: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd -L /usr/sbin/portslave Then in the pslave.conf file put a series of entries specifying every pseudo-tty device (either ptyp0, ptyp1, etc or pts/1, pts/2 etc depending on which type of device naming you use). For the RADIUS port numbers which are to be used for telnet connections you must spec- ify the initchat as an empty string. If you want to run portslave over a clean TCP connection (no telnet protocol) then put the following in your inetd configuration: telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/portslave - AUTHOR
