Of course, I use an OS where a directory listing which shows date and time does so using a consistent and constant format, independent of the age of a file, so I may be biased. > Though if I were considering such a change, I'd probably just have wget > mention the date at the start of its run, rather than repeat it for each > transaction. Obviously wouldn't be a high-priority change... :) That sounds reasonable, except for a job which begins shortly before midnight. I'd say that it makes more sense to do it the same way every time. Otherwise, why bother displaying the hour every time, when it changes so seldom? Or the minute? Eleven bytes more per file in the log doesn't seem to me to be a big price to pay for consistent simplicity. Or you could let the victim specify a strptime() format string, and satisfy everyone. Personally, I'd just change time_str() to datetime_str() in a couple of places. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
