Yes.
in "man webalizer" you will find:
---
o If a log file was specified, it is opened and made
ready for processing. If no log file was given,
STDIN is used for input. If the log filename '-'
is specified, STDIN will be forced.
---
By doing "/bin/cat /var/log/httpd-access.log /var/log/httpd-error.log |
/usr/local/bin/webalizer" you are simply supplying both log files at once
as STDIN to webalizer, and thereby circumventing the fact that only one
file name may be specified on the command line.
Of course, you could also:
---
cat file1 file2 > /tmp/file3 ; webalizer file3
---
But this simply forces more diskIO, for no material benefit.
HTH.
PS: Please find a way to send your emails as plain text. Your multipart
messages will force many people to manually open the attachment before
being able to read your message. For many that is just enough hassle to
send their finger directly to the "delete" button instead. You will
almost certainly find more people reading and responding to your questions
if you take this simple step to simplify their lives! :)
