[CLUG] Re: need help in executing webalizer in command line

[HarshaRani]

Hello Peter,
Setting up the date in "webalizer.current" file to April 1st and running
webalizer as before worked fine.
But I still have a small problem, on 30th of Apr there is some entry in
the statistics, even though I have cross checked both in access_log and
access_log.1 for that particular date entry and it doesn't exist.
Can I correct this by anyway.

regards
Harsha
