To generate a report the following command line options:

-m Month - To generate a report for a specific month (default is current)
-d domain - To generate a report for a specific domain (default is all)
-f format - 1 is SICA format log (default), 2 is IMS format log

LogReport userfile maillogfile webfile

When procesing native IMS logs the mail log file should be replaced by the directory name above the 'inlog' and 'outlog' subdirectories. The directory name should be terminated by a '\' character.
