If you are just trying to create a log file you can use the unix date command to achieve this. Going from memory here but you could use a run process action, and a command that looks like this, mv your_escalationfile.log `date +escalation_%Y%m%d.log` David ________________________________

Joe ----- Original Message ---- From: "Pruitt, Christopher J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 27, 2008 2:13:37 PM Subject: Active Link Function in an Escalation??? Hello Fellow Listers, Does anyone know a way to mimic the Active Link functions within an Escalation? I am trying to find a way to do the following to create log entries, on a UNIX server, that have a unique timestamp. These logs turn on and off every day. These logs are created via a SET FIELDS action into the field 'escalationlogfile' on the "AR System Administration: Server Information" form. We are able to turn the log on and off at defined times. Currently we are using "Escalation_" + REPLACE(DATE($DATE$), "/", "")) + ".log" and it crates a log file with the name "Escalation_102708.log" However, we would like to name the file Escalation_20081027.log so that it is in the format YYYYMMDD. We have tried this command but it does not work. "Escalation_" + YEAR($TIMESTAMP$)) + MONTH($TIMESTAMP$)) + DAY($TIMESTAMP$) + ".log" I can't use $TIMESTAMP$ and that is not a valid UNIX file name, meaning the file name comes across as Escalation_10/27/288 12:00:00 PM.log, which is not valid. Any help would be appreciated. Christopher Pruitt EDS, an HP Company mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We deliver on our commitments so you can deliver on yours.
