Date/Time sensitive iRules

use the clock command: http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/clock.html


      set curtime [clock seconds]
      set formattedtime [clock format $curtime]
      log "$curtime seconds since epoch, $formattedtime"

The log entry looks like this:

1129552706 seconds since epoch, Mon Oct 17 07:38:26 CDT 2005
