[CALUG] Uploading file or sending text to web-server.

[Rajiv Gunja]

Naw! I am not trying to get syslog. I am trying to get parts of log files I
write to from another script over to a web-server/DB/dashboard.

It has to be multi-platform, as my script will run on AIX, HP-UX, Linux and
Solaris.
So if Perl is the easiest way, then I will write part of my code in Perl.
On the web-server, I am writing in PHP, so I can talk to the DB.

Thanks, please keep the ideas coming.

-GG
