appending a time stamp to prstat

knockoutned · 08-09-2010, 10:11 AM

Hi,

I am trying to run prstat for an extended time, outputting to a file and appending a time-stamp to each line (running on Solaris 10). I have tried this:

prstat -c -U usrname 60 480 | nawk '$1=="PID" { "date +%d%m%Y-%H:%M:%S" | getline d ; close("date") } { print d,$0 }' > /tmp/fileName &

this only appends the time the command was started to each line. I would like to fix this so that a new time is recorded every 60 seconds.

Thanks in advance

How about using 'logger'? That way you get a perfect syslog-style date-and-time stamp each and every time.
