Exactly.  I'll assume you know how to create a cron entry using either
"crontab" or by adding a script to /etc/cron.daily.  If not, this is pretty
basic *nix stuff and you should probably either search the archives or use
google to find a cron tutorial.  google is your friend.

I just wrote the script below in about 30 seconds.  It will get you started.
It loops through all of your sites, goes to the parent directory of each
site and runs webalizer, repeating for each site.  Webalizer will expect a
webalizer.conf file in each site's parent directory and if not found will
use /etc/webalizer.conf.

#!/bin/sh
for SITE in `ls -1 /home/sites/ | grep -v site | grep -v home`
do
cd /home/sites/$SITE/
webalizer <flags here>
done

You may want to test each of the parts from the commandline to get familiar
with what they do and replace the webalizer line with something like:

echo "looping - $SITE" (without the comments) to see what's happening before
running it.
