[IMGate] making log searches readable

[Len Conrad]

a stupid little script for piping your egrep searches into, so instead of 
having tons of hard-to-read text, there is a blank line skipped after each 
search results line.

/usr/local/bin/skipline.sh

#!/bin/sh

awk '{print $0\n}'

exit 0

==

usage:

egrep -i pattern /var/log/maillog | skipline.sh | less

or

egrep -i pattern /var/log/maillog | skipline.sh | mail -s text [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]


you could rename to something shorter like skln, but keep it on your path.

There's probably an easier way, open to suggestions.

Nice script, I am used to the postfix format and going crazy with the 
crappy log output of Qmail, so I love the simplicity of the postfix logs.

All the best.
