You could just give it a web interface. Write a program that watches and summarizes the log file and writes out stats to a separate HTML file every few seconds which you can display through your web server. > I especially like the idea that logging won't lock up the httpd process. > And Apache makes sure that log writes are atomic, right? Yes, if you're just writing to a standard log. If you use small writes (less than 4K is typical I think, but it's OS-dependent), writing to any file opened for append will be atomic. - Perrin
