Seems to work at least on my Desktop machine (i386). But the server is a
x86_64  machine w/o the 32 bit compatibility layer stuff installed as
everything we use so far is compiled for genuine 64 bit mode, as shipped
in Debian 4.0.

BTW, if possible I'd prefer REAL open source software and not "freeware"
as it's only free in the sense that it doesn't cost money :)

> Analog has a COMPRESS command that is intended to uncompress log files (Analog internally supports tar, gzip and zip). You can leverage this command to run any pre-process on a log file as long as it sends the processed file to STDOUT.
Was not able to find this one, but I'd guest UNCOMPRESS does the right
thing anyway :)


Just another question: So, preprocessing compressed logfiles is no
problem, but how do I manage the same for the uncompressed logfile.
Like most people out there, we use logrotate for Apache logfile
rotation, so there's always the logfile Apache is writing it's stuff to
and the rotated logfile which is still not compressed. gzip compression
is done at the next logrotate run.
