Apache Log Quick Summary
Posted in ruby on May 10th, 2007
Sometimes I set up a quick site for a client and want to summarize hits without setting up awstats. So, I wrote a quick and dirty script to sum up the hits per day in Apache's access_log file.

$ cklog access_log

04-16-2007: 2134
04-17-2007: 304
04-18-2007: 6960
04-19-2007: 951
04-20-2007: 412
