Re: [PLUG] Getting only today's logs

[Aaron Crosman <acrosman@afsc.org>]

The main reason I wanted to do this is that I actually do several similar
sync up's between the two servers.  The more I can make them work the same
the easier it'll be for me to maintain them all.  I now sync the MySQL
Databases, site logs and some of the sites between the two machines.

Thanks again for the ideas and help.
Aaron
