Console output with date/time and log

[steamin]

It is simple to realize that the console output will have date/time for each line?
A log is sometimes also helpful.

I would like to see date/time in console as well, because it would be easier to determine if some of my alerts that I have sending to the console are happening when they should... I have this mostly happening to make sure a certain event is happening in the correct time frame... I've been trying to do this for a while to no real availe... maybe I'll have a breakthrough in the next few weeks, then again maybe not.

there are functions that can be called to return the current system date and time. I'm afraid I'm not in a position right now to look them up for you...however if you add these functions and return the info to a variable or however they work (I'd have to look it up again...) you can then write them into your script as such...

Console.WriteLine("{0}.{1}.{2} {3}:{4}:{5} <any information you want to display here>", dateVariable.Day, dateVariable.Month, dateVariable.Year, dateVariable.Hour, dateVariable.Minutes, dateVariable.Seconds);

There's actually a much easier way to do it, but again I need to be at my computer to see it, and that won't be until sometime tomorrow. If you look at several of the distro scripts you'll see many examples of this however.

I dont mean my own scripts! I mean the System/Server outputs!

Ohhh lol ok. I gotcha, this was posted under server support, so I thought it was something you were trying to get to do in a script of some sort. I don't think there is a switch that turns on any features like what you are talking about, but maybe a nice forum moderator can move this post over to the suggestions forum?

Why your more then welcome to do it for your shard, no reason you can't do it yourself.
