Martin,
$ date +%U
Will print out the week of the year 00-53 accd'ing to strftime(3) man page.
So there are a number of ways to do it:
try the short way just add this to the crontab:
webalizer -o admin/stats logs/access.log.`date +%U`
Or the long way create a shell script like:
-- begin test.sh --
#! /bin/sh
week=`date +%U`
webalizer -o admin/stats logs/access.log.${week}
-- end test.sh --
And add the shell script to the crontab.
hope that helps -DAL-
