It sounds that on "one or two" of your servers, there is a program time.exe installed, most likely from the Cygwin suite of programs, which preempts the shell builtin time command.

To solve your problem, maybe you want to look at the Perl builtin functions of localtime and gmtime() together with the POSIX::strftime() function:

use strict; use warnings; use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime "%Y:%m:%d %H:%M:%S", localtime();

There are lots of format strings that strftime knows to insert into your string, like the weekday and more, should you need it.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
