NAME

SYNOPSIS
     writelog name text...

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,  <config$NEWSMASTER>  (typically usenet .)  The data
     that is written or sent consists of the text given on the  command  line,
     followed by standard input indented by four spaces.  Shlock(1) is used to
     avoid simultaneous updates to a single log file.
