Dear list, I'm thinking of parsing the /var/www/logs/access.log from httpd for purposes like identifying bot activity using fgrep, grep, cut, sed, sort, and uniq.
Is it safe to do that in a cron job? I see requests that appear to embed scripts. So, I'm wondering if it's naive to parse them like that. If that's the case, are there any precautions I can take? -- W. D. Sadeep PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E
