THere is a date format related bug in the log files based on that the year is ot reported as part of log entries such as 10/13 06:43:05 JM: exiting globus_gram_job_manager. This must be changed to 10/13/2006 06:43:05 JM: exiting globus_gram_job_manager. Rationale: Programs can use the log file to calculate the actual running time of batch jobs. However if the Job sould be run on the last day of the year this will cause problems.
Fine. Looks like a simple change, but severity is minor in my estimation
This log file is really meant for debugging purposes and the format of the messages in it isn't really documented anywhere, so you are doing this operation at your own risk. Can't you just assume jobs run for less than 1 year? You might be interested in the auditing work being done for [bug #4410], which is an attempt to handle this sort of information in a better structured way.
We'll be merging in the patch for #1538 for 4.2.1 which includes an accounting file which contains the job submission and termination time with full dates in their timestamps. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1538 ***
