Nice.

I made one change to my awstats script... just before calling awstats.pl:

                while [ `ps ax |grep awstats.pl |grep -v grep |wc -l` 
-gt 5 ] ; do
                    echo "waiting 5 seconds for an awstats.pl to finish"
                    sleep 5
                done

Which essentially allows multiple awstats to run at the same time, 
without totally bringing the server to its knees. The main bottleneck 
with log processing is DNS lookups, not CPU/disk. The -gt 5 probably 
needs to be adjusted depending on number of CPU power and RAM.

Reverse DNS lookups are continuing to be a major nuisance for me. 
Awstats and the logresolvemerge program both have functionality for dns 
lookups, but neither are as robust as they could be.

One important note about awstats is to check the version - it had a 
whole bunch of remote exploits not too long ago.
