Newby question for console time stamping / logging #linux


 

Excellent software, just having a 'minor' issue, and probably just missing it in the docs somewhere:

Is there a way to turn on a timestamp in the console feed? When I run direwolf I get the following in the console:
= = = = =
Digipeater WIDE2 (probably W9MCP-10) audio level = 191(122/97)?? [NONE]?? __|||||__
Audio input level is too high.? Reduce so most stations are around 50.

but when scrolling back, it would be helpful to either have local or the UTC time stamp in the data.
Am I missing a toggle somewhere or is this a feature request?

This is covered in the Direwolf User Guide but when you start Direwolf from the command line, try adding this:

?? -T "%H:%M:%S"

Thank you, sir. This was the part I was 'missing' and your example has been helpful. I also found the '-t' option for terminal colors, I cannot see things on the white background easily, so switched to the '-t a' option which is much better for these 6+ decades old eyes...

Use upper case letters for this command.

Patrick, I did to get the time stamp addition, and after reviewing the User Guide, and --help, found the screen color settings which were also helpful. Can't say much for how the user guide is organized, and it would be helpful to have a better explanation of the cli options, but this was a start for me...

The command line options could be explained better.? This has been added to the list for future enhancements.

How could the user guide be organized better?? Helpful suggestions are always welcome.

John,
If running DW in Windows, how do I add the??-T "%H:%M:%S" to the Desktop Shortcut to get time stamping in the console? My Shortcut Target is?"C:\HAM RADIO\direwolf-1.7.0-7fa91dd_i686\direwolf.exe" -T "%H:%M:%S" which started DW but did not add the time stamps to the console.?
