Help with scipt to sort log files

iPlanet's buggy logging style

[WebCrawler]

Hi,

Can anyone give me some tips on how to write a script to sort log files chronologically for iPlanet. I'm running a UNIX Solaris server. WebTrends hangs when I try to analyze and I have no clue how to write this script. Any direction or help will be much appreciated.

Never used iPlanet, but awk,sed,sort, and sh are your friends.

Welcome to webmaterworld [webmasterworld.com]
post a few lines of the log files and I'll help you get started.
I'm surprised that the lines aren't in order. Furthermore, I'm surprised that the analysis tool cares, but those are the breaks.

Please see the following post from sometime back. One of the persons brings up the same error I get.
Web Trends Error [webmasterworld.com]

Here is my logfile code:

format=%Ses->client.ip% - %Req->vars.auth-user% [%SYSDATE%] "%Req->reqpb.clf-request%" %Req->srvhdrs.clf-status% %Req->srvhdrs.content-length% "%Req->headers.referer%" "%Req->headers.user-agent%" %Req->reqpb.method% %Req->reqpb.uri% %Req->reqpb.query% "%Req->reqpb.protocol%"
