Changing the date format in the event list on UNIX

The date format in the event list is defined by the NCO_TIME environment variable. The default format is mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss; for example, 11/12/03 20:13:36. This format is determined by the POSIX strptime function.

About this task

To set the default format, using csh, enter the following command:

setenv NCO_TIME %m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S

To set the default format, using ksh or sh, enter the following command:

NCO_TIME=%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S;export NCO_TIME

See the man page for strptime for details of the conversion specifiers that are available.

Note: Changing the date format in the event list does not affect the alert timestamp.
