logtstamp

Default Keybindings

None.

Syntax

  • logtstamp [on|off]
  • logtstamp after [secs]
  • logtstamp string [string]

Description

This command controls logfile timestamp mechanism of screen. If timestamps are turned “on”, screen adds a string containing the current time to the logfile after two minutes of inactivity. When output continues and more than another two minutes have passed, a second timestamp is added to document the restart of the output. You can change this timeout with the second form of the command. The third form is used for customizing the time-stamp string (“– %n:%t – time-stamp – %M/%d/%y %c:%s –\n” by default).
