SYNOPSIS

       writelog name text...


DESCRIPTION

       The  writelog  script is used to write a log entry or send
       it as mail.  The name parameter specifies the name of  the
       log  file where the entry should be written.  If it is the
       word ``mail'' then the entry is mailed to the news  admin­
       istrator,  <USER specified with --with-news-master at con­
       figure>.  The data that is written or sent consists of the
       text given on the command line, followed by standard input
       indented by four  spaces.   Shlock(1)  is  used  to  avoid
       simultaneous updates to a single log file.
