The URL you gave states that is not the case. The name of the logfile is passed as a variable, it is up to your program to read the logfile and do whatever it wants with the contents. > I tried a program that appends what it receives > from STDIN to a hard-coded file.

It times out because your program is waiting for input on STDIN and there is none. -- Neil Bothwick Men who go out with flat chested woman have reasons for feeling down
