[TriLUG] AWstats question

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

I inherited an old awstats installation at a previous job.  As I recall, 
it was generating awstats a month at a time, so I expect that's probably 
what you have to do here.

The following might get you started.  change the echo part to the 
appropriate awstats command, and change the year range as needed:

for y in $(seq 2016 2019); do for m in $(seq -f "%02g" 1 12); do echo "$y/$m"; done; done;
