Ever wondered what the cryptic number at the beginning of each log entry is?
For example, tail -n 1 /var/log/gui/current outputs lines like this:
@400000005ecfd95801f770dc QVNCServer disconnected from "127.0.0.1"
It's a timestamp in TIA64 format. The tai64nlocal utility converts the number to a date and time.
tail -1 /var/log/gui/current | tai64nlocal produces:
2020-05-28 15:31:26.032993500 QVNCServer disconnected from "127.0.0.1"
Note that the time zone for Venus is always GMT so the hour won't match the actual local time.
