Thank you. I just figured it out on my own. I think this is the second time that got an irule to work on my own and then checked my email only to find the answer waiting for me.

 

 

One addition note: I found that the time displayed was 16 hours off. I did some reading and found that i needed to add "-gmt 1" to the "clock format" command to get it to display the proper time.

 

 

One additional question: Your irule used an "unset" command. I have not seen that used before. It would simplify some of my checking for not exist or an undisired value. Is there anything I should be careful about when using it.

 

 

 

Thanks again.
