The fg-parse command is a template on how we can manage euca log files

it shows how it can be run in two modes.

a) a mode in which just a log file is being managed
b) a mode in which the log files are parsed and the contents is written into a database

With increased data volume, the second mode is to be preferred. A proper documentation as manual page in our program needs to be devised that explains usage. before any development is continued, this manual page must be devised first.

We may actually have different other programs that use the data that are stored in the database, such as the creation of web pages and analytics based on data stored in the database.

We require that thes programs be documented first.
