writelog - add a entry to an INN log file.
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 administrator,
<USER specified with --with-news-master at configure>. 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.
