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.
