NAME

       writelog - add a entry to an INN log file.

SYNOPSIS

       writelog name text...

DESCRIPTION

       The writelog script is used to write a log entry or send it as mail.  The name parameter specifies the name of the log file where the entry
       should be written.  If it is the word ``mail'' then the entry is mailed to the  news  administrator,  <USER specified with --with-news-mas-
       ter at configure>.  The data that is written or sent consists of the text given on the command line, followed by standard input indented by
       four spaces.  Shlock(1) is used to avoid simultaneous updates to a single log file.
