Re: loginfo - keeping a checked out copy

[Derek R. Price]

The log.pl script relies on some of hte information which you are
slurping and writing out with the 'cat' following 'date' below.  The
solution is to call an intermediate script which reads in stdin and
writes it out to two separate child processes (below, the simple echo to
the log & log.pl).  Alternately, you could hack log.pl to write to the
text log as well as to send the mails.

Always glad to share my ignorance - I've got plenty.
