Adding Time Zone to Log File 1

[faelord]

Our log files are in the format

May 18 10:37:56 faelord ftpd[10062]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM ...
May 18 10:03:50 faelord in.rshd[8691]: connect from ...

We need to send them to someone who has requested the timezone be included ie

May 18 10:37:56 CST faelord ftpd[10062]: FTP LOGIN REFUSED (access denied) FROM
May 18 10:03:50 CST faelord in.rshd[8691]: connect from

Has anyone got a simple shell script that could be run to add the CST in the appropriate place
regardless of month?

Thanks

Can you just add an `echo $TZ` in the appropriate place. If not, can you post an extract of the script where the filename is constructed? Note that the ` above are 'backticks' (ie above the tab key), not normal apostrophes. HTH.

 

[KenCunningham]

Sorry - you probably wouldn't need the backticks in this instance.

Maybe this (untested) awk script will do what you want.

{
   for (i=1;i<=3;i++) printf $i &quot; &quot;
   printf &quot;CST&quot;
   for (i=4;i<=NF;i++) printf &quot; &quot; $i
   print &quot;&quot;
}

Hope this helps. CaKiwi
