If you want the value in an environment variable I assume you're using it in a bit of shell code (maybe a bad assumption). But if that's the case why not just generate the other formats using the date command?
BUILD_TIMESTAMP_AWS=$(date -d "@$(date -d "$BUILD_TIME_STAMP" +%s)" +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) or something of that nature. Not sure what value is in the existing environment variable... and if it's a unix time... you can simplify things like this: BUILD_TIMESTAMP_AWS=$(date -d "@$BUILD_TIMESTAMP" +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S) On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 6:35 AM, Hao Chen <[email protected]> wrote: > I had explained the difference between ZenTimestamp and the one I'm > creating. > > I cloned ZenTimestamp to my workspace and read the source code of it, then > I decided to create this plugin. > > I need to add more timestamp variables with different formats for > different use cases. > While ZenTimestamp allows you to export only one variable, but you can use > different formats in each node and each job. > Adding the feature to ZenTimestamp, makes it wired. > > It's from a different practice. > > — > Hao > > > On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 10:15 PM, Slide <[email protected]> wrote: > >> There is another plugin which provides a BUILD_TIMESTAMP environment >> variable and allows some formatting.
