Transforming and calculating timestamps isn't trivial and different systems have different utilities for it. If you don't have Linux you might have to do at least some bits in Perl. What's your system?

Reading text file, comparing a value in a line, and placing only part of the line in a variable?

I need some help. I would like to read in a text file. Take a variable such as ROW-D-01, compare it to what's in one line in the text file such as PROD/VM/ROW-D-01 and only input PROD/VM into a variable without the /ROW-D-01. Is this possible? any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)

SD_JOURNAL_GET_CUTOFF_REALTIME_USEC(3)			sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec		    SD_JOURNAL_GET_CUTOFF_REALTIME_USEC(3)

NAME
sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec, sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec - Read cut-off timestamps from the current journal entry SYNOPSIS
#include <systemd/sd-journal.h> int sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec(sd_journal* j, uint64_t* from, uint64_t* to); int sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec(sd_journal* j, sd_id128_t boot_id, uint64_t* from, uint64_t* to); DESCRIPTION
sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec() gets the realtime (wallclock) timestamps of the first and last entries accessible in the journal. It takes three arguments: the journal context object and two pointers to 64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps in. The timestamps are in microseconds since the epoch, i.e. CLOCK_REALTIME. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be passed as NULL in case the timestamp is not needed, but not both. sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec() gets the monotonic timestamps of the first and last entries accessible in the journal. It takes three arguments: the journal context object, a 128-bit identifier for the boot, and two pointers to 64-bit unsigned integers to store the timestamps. The timestamps are in microseconds since boot-up of the specific boot, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Since the monotonic clock begins new with every reboot it only defines a well-defined point in time when used together with an identifier identifying the boot, see sd_id128_get_boot(3) for more information. The function will return the timestamps for the boot identified by the passed boot ID. Either one of the two timestamp arguments may be passed as NULL in case the timestamp is not needed, but not both. RETURN VALUE
sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec() and sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec() return 1 on success, 0 if not suitable entries are in the journal or a negative errno-style error code. NOTES
The sd_journal_get_cutoff_realtime_usec() and sd_journal_get_cutoff_monotonic_usec() interfaces are available as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the libsystemd-journal pkg-config(1) file. SEE ALSO
