in reply to How do I jump to the point I last checked a file at?

the problem with apache logs is that they aren't a fixed length record within the file. This makes going to a specific record much more difficult.

One thing you could do is use a daemon, rather than a cron job to read from the file as apache writes to it (ala 'tail -f'). That way, you could change your statistics periodically, rather than having to mow through the file every n minutes.

Or use analog...
