What do you mean by "count of entries"? Do you mean the number of log file entries for a job run?

DSGetLogSummary function may help!

Get the last event number using lognewest with the dsjob command. That will give you the number of entries present in your entire log file. If you want number of enteries for the latest run then you need to get lognewest before the job starts and after it ends. Subtract them and that will give you the number of log enteries.

Constrain DSGetLogSummary() to entries made at or after DSJobStartTimeStamp.
