Ok I tried this out but once the find + loop is finished the array is lost and the values are gone, I need to be able to work with the data in the array later on and outside of the loop. Any way to do that? put the data into a global array?

Thanks for the help,
Rob

apachetop

apachetop(1)                                                       USER COMMANDS                                                      apachetop(1)

NAME

       apachetop - display real-time web server statistics

SYNOPSIS

       apachetop [-f filename] [-H hits | -T time] [-q] [-l] [-s segments] [-p] [-r secs]

DESCRIPTION

       ApacheTop watches a logfile generated by Apache (in standard common or combined logformat, and generates human-parsable output in realtime.

OPTIONS

       -f logfile
              Select which file to watch.  Specify this option multiple times to watch multiple files.

       -H hits | -T time
              These options are mutually exclusive. Specify only one, if any at all. They work as follows. ApacheTop maintains a table of informa-
              tion internally containing all the relevant information about the hits it's seen. This table can only be a finite size, so you  need
              to  decide how big it's going to be. You have two options.  You can either: Use -H to say "remember <this many> hits" or   Use -T to
              say "remember all hits in <this many> seconds" The default (at the moment) is to remember hits for 30  seconds.   Setting  this  too
              large  (whichever option you choose) will cause ApacheTop to use more memory and more CPU time. My experimentation finds that remem-
              bering no more than around 5000 requests works well.

       -q     Instructs ApacheTop to keep the querystrings, not remove them.

       -l     Instructs ApacheTop to lowercase all URLs, thus /FOO and /foo are treated as the same and accumulate the same statistics.

       -s segments
              Instructs ApacheTop to only keep the first <segments> parts of the path. Trailing slashes are kept if present. Statistics  are  then
              merged for each truncated url.

       -p     Instructs ApacheTop to keep the protocol (http:// usually) at the front of its' referrer strings. Normal behaviour is to remove them
              to give more room to more useful information.

       -r secs
              Set default refresh delay, in seconds.

EXAMPLES

       apachetop -f /var/logs/httpd/access.log
