If you want to know the exact hits on your website (or whatever logfile you want) for a specific date without duplicates, here's how.
"Unique" means you don't want to count hits to an URL originating from the same IP twice.
You can use the attached script to do so:
# ./log_parser.rb 2011-10-04

36 hits on /stylesheets/fonts/slkscr-webfont.woff
