[wpkg-users] Reporting on installed packages

[Ralph A. Flickinger]

NTSysLog sends Windows Event viewer log entries to a central syslog 
server. Our syslog server is a Linux box running Fedora Core. I have two 
custom written PERL scripts that parse these logs looking for common 
text combinations. For anything that WPKG reports the log entry always 
has "WSH" in the entry. These log entries are always in the same format 
so it is easy to read the entire line in a PERL script variable and then 
split the variable in to other more distinctive variables (computer 
name, package name, status, etc..)  for generating reports.

When I have some time I will try and put an entry on the wiki with 
examples of the perl code.
