OK, the next version will have the "backtick becomes double-quote"
work-around. Here's the cmd line interpreting in the new version:
Biggest change: any cmd line can include the time flags, not just the
wake alarm cmd:
Code:
--------------------
# ` becomes "
# %d beccomes unix epoch time (UTC) e.g. 1234567890
# %l becomes unix epoch time + localtime offset
# %s becomes localtime 'YY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
# %f becomes localtime 'short-date', usu 'MM-DD-YY'
# %t becomes localtime 'HH:MM:SS'
# {+/-nnnn} is used as a offset correction to the supplied
time...e.g. '{-120} would subtract two minutes from the time..
--------------------
Example not-idle command:
sudo /usr/bin/logger `SrvrPowerCtrl %t {-120} not idle`
..is executed as:
sudo /usr/bin/logger "SrvrPowerCtrl 13:39:32 Not Idle"
..puts this into the system log:
Jun 21 13:51:32 localhost username: "SrvrPowerCtrl 13:49:32 Not Idle"
