Hello,
Something strange is happening. At the first of the month I have logs that create a dir for 2002, one year ago and log breafly for 2002. It seems to be happening at the first of the month and only last breafly. Does anyone know why this is happening?
this is the code that guesses the current year (as that is not included in the log message): nowtm = localtime(&now); memset(&tm, 0, sizeof(tm)); strptime(lm->date->data, "%b %e %H:%M:%S", &tm); tm.tm_isdst = -1; tm.tm_year = nowtm->tm_year; if (tm.tm_mon > nowtm->tm_mon) tm.tm_year--; lm->stamp = mktime(&tm); that means that if the received month is greater than the local month, the current year is assumed to be the previous year. The reason for this is to cover the case when messages time stamped with December dates are processed in January. Maybe this 'autodetection' should be changed to require at least two months slip. Try this one: if (tm.tm_mon > nowtm->tm_mon + 1) tm.tm_year--; What do the others think? In any case the reason for this is that you have a sender with incorrect clock. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
