24x7 Multi-Platform 4.3.293 - @T Macro Parameter

24x7 Multi-Platform 4.3.293 - @T Macro Parameter

Running a trial version of 24x7 Multi-platform 4.3.292 on Red Hat Linux.

Q: Is it possible for the @T macro parameter to output the time in 24-hour clock format ?

I am using @T"yyyymmdd:hhmmss", which produces 20100208:034001" but I would like it to produce 20100208:154001

The User manual does not provide examples of the usage of "hhmmss" in the @T macro.

That is a good guess. Using hhmmss should be ok for 12-hour format.. If you need 24-hour format, try HHmmss

I've tried to use HH, but the following command string;

/bin/sh -c "/scheduler/scripts/testjob1.sh > /scheduler/logs/@T"yyyymmddHHmmss".@V"job_name".log

produces;

20100209HH3900.TESTJOB1.log

and not;

20100209093900.TESTJOB1.log [09:39:00 hrs]

Well, your guess was right, my guess was wrong. The undocumented "hhmmss" can be used to obtain time portion of the current date time value, but it returns that in 12-hour format. The solution to that is either moving time calculations to the invoked shell script, or piping the command line to sed or other utility and making it strip all non-digits from the $(time) value; or what could be actually easier, using a simple script type job in 24x7 and in the job concatenating and running the required command line. For example, if you use a JavaScript job, you can call standard JavaScript date time functions to obtain the required time values in printable format then do something like

var time_value = getClockTime();
time_value.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');

or just get each time particle separately as a number

var hour = now.getHours();
var minute = now.getMinutes();
var second = now.getSeconds();
var monthnumber = now.getMonth();
var monthday = now.getDate();
var year = now.getYear();
