INSTALLATION

    Step 1 - Download and install (it's FREE!)
	from CPAN or
        http://tnpi.net/cart/index.php?crn=210&rn=385&action=show_detail

        Install it The Perl Way:

           perl Makefile.PL
           make test
           make install 

	To install any missing dependencies, use 'make deps'

        To install the config file, use 'make conf' or 'make newconf'.
        newconf will overwrite any existing config file, so use it only for
        new installs.

    Step 2 - Edit logmonster.conf
         vi /usr/local/etc/logmonster.conf

    Step 3 - Edit httpd.conf
        Adjust the CustomLog and ErrorLog definitions. We make two changes,
        appending %v (the vhost name) to the CustomLog and adding cronolog
        to automatically rotate the log files.

          LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %v" combined
          CustomLog "| /usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/log/apache/%Y/%m/%d/access.log" combined
          ErrorLog "| /usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/log/apache/%Y/%m/%d/error.log"

    Step 4 - Test manually, then add to cron.
          crontab -u root -e
          5 1 * * * /usr/local/sbin/logmonster -i day
