Organizing a log
I have a bunch of log files generated from a shell script, its all of my facebook friends and if theyre logged in. Each file is a different person. It runs every 5 minutes. The log file is just the date and time, then 1 if theyre logged in or 0 if theyre not. part of one of the files is:

Code:
Mon Aug 30 17:11:13 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:16:13 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:21:13 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:26:13 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:31:13 EDT 2010 = 1
Mon Aug 30 17:36:17 EDT 2010 = 1
Mon Aug 30 17:41:13 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:46:14 EDT 2010 = 0
Mon Aug 30 17:51:14 EDT 2010 = 0

so they logged in from around 17:31 to around 17:36.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get just that. Get that information from the log and output it like that, John Smith logged in from 7:30 to 10:00 on Monday, August 30. If you would like to know how i'm logging it i could show that too, in case theres another way i could log it so its like that. also, i'm using bash on OS X.

if theres another post like this, please, direct me to it. I wasn't sure what to search for.

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)																 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	  Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	  Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o  bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	  Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
