It almost worked too. :-)

	grep "GET /Tmp/Linux/G" /var/log/apache2/access_log | grep -v <myip>  | \
	awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | wc -l

got me almost what I wanted, 20 unique IPs, but that's a lot of stuff to 
remember, which for me will never happen. So I tried converting to an alias.

	grep "GET $1" | /var/log/apache2/access_log | grep -v <myip>  | \
	awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | wc -l

sort of works, except I won't always be looking for GET as part of what to 
grep for, or might require more than one whitepsace instance, and am tripping 
over how to deal with the whitespace if I leave GET out of the alias and only 
put on cmdline if I actually want it as part of what to grep for.

	grep "GET $1 $2" | /var/log/apache2/access_log | grep -v <myip>  | \
	awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | wc -l

seems to work, but I'm not sure there aren't booby traps besides 2nd or more 
whitespace instances I'm not considering, even though it gets the same answer 
for this particular case.
