This all looks good. I made a couple of other changes that I meant to
report before now, but never got to it.

I got tired of seeing all the '.' and '..' entries and the 'total'
blocks in the qfiles subdirectory listings so I changed the script as
follows:

@@ -455,7 +457,7 @@
     echo "------------------------------" >> $TMP

     if [ $LINES -le $MAX_LINES ] ; then
-       $CAT $TMPLOG >> $TMP
+       $GREP -v "^[dt]" $TMPLOG >> $TMP
     else
        $HEAD $TMPLOG >> $TMP
        echo "" >> $TMP

to supress the 'total' line and sub-sub-directories although arguably
the total line is interesting to monitor if it grows large.

One could just make the grep

       $GREP -v "^d" $TMPLOG >> $TMP

or maybe just change the preceding

    $LS -la $DIR >> $TMPLOG

to

    $LS -l $DIR >> $TMPLOG

The other thing I changed is due to the fact that the logs are rotated
weekly via logrotate on my installation. This occurs at 04:02 on
Sundays and is beyond my control and caused my report for Sunday to be
missing the 00:00 to 04:02 time period. Even if I did control it, I
think the best I could do would lose a second or two.

Instead, I changed the script as follows to get all the days entries
from both the current and the previous log (if any).

Watch for wrapped lines above. Also, note the sed which removes the
leading 'filename:' placed on each line by grep.
