In addition to the "useles use of cat award", this also qualifies
for the "useles use of grep award" :)
To save cpu cycles, file descriptors and what more:
<bla awk '/ 1[0123]:/{s+=$10}END{print "sum is",s," average is ",s/NR}'
This, by the way, selects " 10:" which probably stands for the
timeframe "09:55:00 .. 10:00:00". After all, a rate is not known
until the time has passed; the entry at 10:00 should thus describe
the past, not the future. Similarly 14:00:00 is not selected while
it probably should.
