That is the link to the script that I'm using to process my mail logs. It
has been pointed out to me that the conversion routine (orginally posted by
Jos ?? Someone - I can't find the orginal in the archive for some reason)
that I'm using is 10 second off from tai64nlocal, but it is close enough for
my needs.

Subject: stats from qmailanalog
I am new to qmail and I am trying to set up the qmailanalog scripts to
provide statistics and process the log files. I can't get any of it to work,
I read the read-mes and man pages and am clueless. My installation follows
the defaults in qmail, appears to work fine and uses mail directories owned
by the user and placed beneath their home directories.
I ran the tai64local program against a copy of a log and got human time
stamps. I followed the steps on the matchup and got as far as a file that
had my log with a question mark on each line. After that errors all around.
the next instructions on the manpage follow
<log.1 matchup >out.1 5>pending.2
cat pending.2 log.2 | matchup >out.2 5>pending.3
cat pending.3 log.3 | matchup >out.3 5>pending.4
Is this some kind of log rotation or what? What's the deal with 5> in the
first line? What on earth does that do? As you can tell I am totally lost. I
really have tried to find this stuff in man pages, manuals and by searching
the net, but I'm lost.
Is there a how-to or a kind soul who can explain step by step (with some
expanations of what a given command is doing) for me. I would be glad to
codify this for some kind of mini-how to or for inclusion with the scripts
with the permission of the appropriate people.
Thank you
