Per the man page for clock (Click here), I don't think -format is a valid flag for clock scan. And -timezone doesn't seem to be valid for clock format. Can you give this a shot?


when RULE_INIT {
   set ::date_str_orig {Thu, 09 Apr 2008 17:06:48 PDT}
   set x [clock scan $::date_str_orig]
   set y [clock format $::x -format {%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z} -gmt 1]
   log local0. "\$::date_str_orig: $::date_str_orig, \$::x: $::x, \$::y: $::y"
}

Log output:


Rule : $date_str_orig: Thu, 09 Apr 2008 17:06:48 PDT, $x: 1207786008, $y: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:06:48 GMT
