<br><a name="maillogconvert"><h2 style=""><u>maillogconvert.pl</u></h2></a>
<br>maillogconvert is mail log preprocessor that convert a mail log file (from
<br>postfix, sendmail or qmail servers) into a human readable format.
<br>The output format is also ready to be used by a log analyzer, like AWStats.
<br>
<br>Usage:
<br> perl maillogconvert.pl [standard|vadmin] [year] < logfile > output
<br>
<br>The first parameter specifies what format the mail logfile is :
<br> standard - logfile is standard postfix,sendmail,qmail or mdaemon log format
<br> vadmin - logfile is qmail log format with vadmin multi-host support
<br>
<br>The second parameter specifies what year to timestamp logfile with, if current
<br>year is not the correct one (ie. 2002). Always use 4 digits. If not specified,
<br>current year is used.
<br>
<br>If no output is specified, it goes to the console (stdout).
<br>For example, the following sample from postfix mail log server:

<br><a name="urlaliasbuilder"><h2 style=""><u>urlaliasbuilder.pl</u></h2></a>
<br>Urlaliasbuilder generates an 'urlalias' file from an input file (an urlalias file
<br>is a file with two columns: url and clear title of url).
<br>The input file must contain a list of URLs (It can be an AWStats history file).
<br>For each of thoose URLs, the script get the corresponding HTML page and catch the
<br>header information (title), then it writes an output file that contains one line
<br>for each URLs and several fields:
<br>- The first field is the URL,
<br>- The second is title caught from web page.
<br>This resulting file can be used by AWStats urlalias plugin.
<br>
<br>Usage: urlaliasbuilder.pl -site=www.myserver.com [options]
<br>
<br>The site parameter contains the web server to get the page from.
<br>Where options are:
<br> -urllistfile=Input urllist file
<br> If this file is an AWStats history file then urlaliasbuilder will use the
<br> SIDER section of this file as its input URL's list.
<br> -urlaliasfile=Output urlalias file to build
<br> -overwrite Overwrite output file if exists (by default appends to file).
<br> -secure Use https protocol
<br>
<br>Example: urlaliasbuilder.pl -site=www.someotherhost.com
