Update your script to, display the value of the LANG variable in addition to the RPM details (perhaps on a separate line), and see if the value differs between the script output (run from your shell) and the clientlog.
I suspect LANG is set in your shell differently from how it's set in the xymon user's shell. RPM (or probably glibc) uses LANG to format the date according to the environment's locale. I'm guessing your shell has LANG set to something like en_US, whereas the xymon user's LANG is set to something like C, or is not set at all.

Hi, I've got a strange date issue. I've written some local scripts to pad information onto the combo message. Here is the background:
- When you run the script by hand locally (take note of the date):
[davieb at xymonsvr ~]$ ~xymon/client/local/dateinfo dhcp-common,4.3.6,18 Jul 2020
- When I pull the information from xymon server:
[davieb at xymonsvr ~]$ ~xymon/server/bin/xymon localhost "clientlog xymonsvr section=local:dateinfo" [local:dateinfo] dhcp-common,4.3.6,Jul 18 17:44:26
Notice how the date field gets modified? I can't figure out why. The only thing I can think of is something within the xymon code, but I don't know why it would?
Here's the simple script:
[davieb at xymonsvr ~]$ cat ~xymon/client/local/dateinfo #!/bin/sh
OS=
uname -sRPM=dhcp-commonif [ ${OS} = "Linux" ]; then VERSION=
rpm -q ${RPM} --qf "%{VERSION}\n"INSTALLED=rpm -q ${RPM} --qf "%{INSTALLTIME:date}\n"|awk {'print $2" "$3" "$4'}fiecho "${RPM},${VERSION},${INSTALLED}"
Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
Thanks, Dave
