[gentoo-user] date in emerge logs

[gentoo-user] date in emerge logs

[Jorge Almeida]

What are the numbers at the beginning of each line in the logs of 
emerge? Example:
1161911504:  --- AUTOCLEAN: Nothing unmerged.

I'm assuming that 1161911504 is some date. If so, how can I translate it
into something human-meaningfull?

What it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

One way to translate it to a human readable form is this:
$ python -c "import time; print time.ctime(1161911504)"

Not sure if there are console apps that can do this.
It's not very common to work with timestamps in the console afaik :)

# tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%D %X %Z", $1),$2}'

Oh, forgot about that.
On that note, I found qlop to be much faster.
You might want to give it a try as well.

tail /var/log/emerge.log | awk -F: '{print strftime("%c", $1),$2}' 
is more internationally friendly (and less to type).

qlop is faster at what it does, but does less. A combination of the two
is well worth having.

Thank you, this is what I need. Thanks to everyone else who replied,
too.

Well, there's one more solution :)
Would you say that using date is faster/lighter than awk (as per other
replies)? This is to be included in a script, so the lighter the
better...
Thanks.

I would think so, yes.  If you write a script like this...

#!/bin/sh
# unix-time
date -d @$1

...and enter:
$ unix-time 1161911504
Fri Oct 27 02:11:44 BST 2006

Thanks, but that's not what I meant. I have a script that acts as a
filter, and sometimes lines include unix-time dates. So I suppose that
awk it is, since "date" will choke on input other than proper dates.

Cheers.
