Finding mail per hour

Prince2 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-22-2008

Hi,

i have a logfile of a mail server it looks like this:
d k 1004210238.380677500 1004210238.454490500 1004210238.679567500 3621 <VOLENDAM@Malawi.com> local.EDAM@Frankrijk.com 6053 81

I have got the following script to set the time in normal gmt time
and to filter de failed messages, but i want that the script asks me what date and what time i want to filter at the beginning of the script.

BEGIN{{print "list of failed mails:"}

{print "---------------------------------------------"}}
{if ($1 ~ /d/ && $2 ~ /z/) {nr =nr+1 ; printf $7" ""%s\n%s\n",(""), strftime("%c", $3) }}
END {{print "---------------------------------------------"}
{print "there are:",nr " failed mails"}}

Can anybody help me ?
