First a warning: summing the median and dividing by numbers of summands
gives you what? imho only useless information. But anyway. A q&d awk
script would look like
/^[0-9]/ { s += $4; n++ }
END { print s/n }
If you really want to have the median of the last thirty days,
recalculate them for yourself.
