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-

       four spaces.  Shlock(1) is used to avoid simultaneous updates to a single log file.
