Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Cfengine time handling Author: sauer Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,21606,21606#msg-21606
Something I've not been completely clear upon (well, among several things) is how Cfengine handles time. Are the "integers" referenced just Unix time values, as in, seconds since the Jan 1, 1970 epoch? If so, does that mean that the "accumulated" function just returns the years/hours/etc converted to a unix time aded to 0, while "ago" just takes that many seconds and subtracts from the current time? And, therefore, aren't "accumulated" and "on" the same function, just renamed for convenience? :) The main reason I ask is that I occasionally have Unix timestamps to compare against things, and I'd like to know the significance of the integer. In particular, yesterday I wanted to find all N processes which were over a month old. I presume that doing "irange(0, ago(0,1,0,0,0,0))" would do it, but honestly haven't tested it yet. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
