Use the "!processor" option, which will feed the current logfile in
through stdin and record stdout to the final destination log file.
This means that you'll need to use a tee-like process to get a
duplicate of the data, and it also needs to be quick as logging
will be paused while the processor script runs (if there's any
chance that your mysql server could be down, it would be best
to spool the log to a temporary file and fork the import process
from the processor script in the background).
