[Pkg-awstats-devel] Bug#224506: cronjob: locking, conf/logfile checking

[Arne Rusek]

Package: awstats
Version: 6.5+dfsg-1
Followup-For: Bug #224506

Dear all.

I wrote myself a awstats cron wrapper which should solve at least three
bugreports on awstats :-)

It does:
  * locking: no more than one instance -- one configuration -- will run
	* config checking: check required config file (and included confs)
	* check that required logfile is available
	* should work out of the box when run from /etc/cron.d/awstats
	* it also makes awstats more nice :-)

If it's of any use, please include it into the awstats package and run
from cron. Questions, comments, suggestions and complains are welcomed
as always.

All the best,
Arne
