if you are running a webserver on the same machine why not just
create a soft link from somewhere httpd (or whatever) can serve up
the log file ?. then the client machine can just use wget.
the problem with this is the file gets big quick. i have had good
luck in perl using Date::Manip to parse timestamps for example
limiting to the last 24 hrs
ex)
my $d1 = DateCalc( "today", "- 24 hours");
my $begin = &UnixDate( $d1, "%b %e %T");
.
.
if ( $date gt $begin ) {
will start processing timestamps from 24 hrs ago...
