If we need to know what were the permissions set in a point in time…

It’s possible to run a simple sed script to replace the absolute path for a relative one.

Assumptions:

Windows Media Player uses a Library pointing to a share. In my case a Iomega Home Media device:  \\MYDISK\Music

That share it’s your default library path in WMP, so playlists will be written in \\MYDISK\Music\Playlist

Script 

fix-pl.sh

#!/bin/sh
sed -i s/\\\\\\\\MYDISK\\\\Music/../g *.wpl

Store it in \\MYDISK\Music\Playlist

Run it from SSH :

# cd /mnt/pools/A/A0/Music/Playlists

# chmod +x fix-pl.sh

# ./fix-pl.sh

One used in several default reports is coalesce

Other useful functions:

to_timestamp: Useful for converting fileds like “itime” and “timestamp” of each log record. Since their are stored in UNIX time formar, to show them readable you can use to_timestamp()

Other tip, if you need to report user field of a record ` symbol has to be used, if not “postgres” user will be returned.

Example using both functions and the user filed:

select to_timestamp(timestamp)  as time, coalesce(hostname, dst, ‘unknown’) as web_site,  cat_desc as category, `user` as user from $log where $filter and status in (‘allowed’, ‘passthrough’, ‘exempted’, ‘filtered’) order by itime
