And He will program it with jdbc

Resolving apache logs for feeding webdruid with.
Dnsresolver (based on db3) doesn't always compile or work
in webalizer/webdruid.
Found another way with logresolve (from apache)
Small little tool - does only one job and does it well.
Logs are generated daily with rotatelogs inside apache
configuration file

Yah perl again

#resolve_logs.pl
my $dir="/opt/Apache/logs/";
opendir(DIR, "$dir");

@files = sort(grep(/access200506/, readdir(DIR)));

closedir(DIR);



foreach (@files) {
 my $LogFile,$LogFileResolved;
 $LogFile = "$dir"."$_";
 $LogFileResolved = "$dir"."resolved_"."$_";
#    print("$_\n") unless -d;
    print ("$LogFile\n");
    system("/usr/sbin/logresolve <$LogFile>$LogFileResolved");
    print ("$LogFileResolved\n");
    }

  my ($value,$monthstr,$daystr);
  my $yesterday = time () - ONE_DAY;
  ($s,$m,$h,$day,$month,$year,$wd,$yd,$dst) = localtime($yesterday);
  $month++;
  if ($month < 10) {$monthstr = "0$month"} else {$monthstr = "$month"};
  if ($day < 10) {$daystr = "0$day"} else {$daystr = "$day"};
  $year = $year + 1900;

  my %hosts =(

  my %stats_dirs=(

Wine for Debian based distributions

installing webdruid

Download latest version
wget http://www.webdruid.org/download/source/webdruid-0.5.4.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf webdruid-0.5.4.tar.bz2

Make shure you have an gcc compiler ;)
On windows is an problem (solved by cygwin)
./configure --prefix=/opt/webdruid

If you get this error
configure: error: Your system doesn't support gettext. Aborting!
Start checking requirments ;) reading INSTALL file
" - zlib (1.2.1)
- the GD graphics library version (>= 1.8.4)
- Freetype 2 (2.1.7)
- Freefont package: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/freefont/
The FreeSerif font from this package is used by default by The WebDruid.
You should get the fonts at the above URL and unpack them in the
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont directory.
- a gettext compatible C library (recent GNU libc is Ok) OR an external libintl library
- an iconv compatible C library (recent GNU libc is Ok) OR an external libiconv library
- Berkeley DB 3 (3.2.9) - OPTIONAL
- graphviz (1.10) - OPTIONAL"

Now if nice graphs are needed - download graphvis source code and
configure it

http://www.graphviz.org/Download..php

wget http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-2.2.1.tar.gz

Configured with
./configure --prefix=/opt/graphviz

Update :
ls /lib/modules/2.6.11.9/kernel/drivers/
ls: /lib/modules/2.6.11.9/kernel/drivers/: No such file or directory

Hmm... i did make modules_install
Maybe will try latter debian way ...
Update: Now it works (forgot i did make mrproper;-))
had to mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.11.9 /lib/modules/2.6.11.9/ and add it to grub

C# and java are still ugly compared to pascal , don't know about Oberon (pascal++?)

"In the field of programming languages two fresh starts have been attempted recently. I refer to Java and C#. Both tend to restrict rather than augment the number of features, trying to suggest a certain programming discipline. Hence they move in the right direction. This is encouraging. But there remains still a long way to reach Pascal, and longer even to Oberon."
