==Timestamp Format==
I think it would be a good idea to put my timestamp format in a single place. I plan on using the format <code>YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS</code>. This can be generated with <code> date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S </code>
I am thinking to assist the parser's understanding of log files, it would be a good idea to have these prefixes for each timestamp:
* TOS - Timed Output Start
* TOF - Timed Output Finish
* MLTOS - Multi-Line Output Start
* MLTOF - Multi-Line Output Finish
==Second attempt at timestamps==
This patch is my second attempt at doing timestamps. This patch lives in the build and test infrastructure instead of BuildBot. The first modification is to test_all.sh to add a parameter to specify the date format for timestamps. It will be the string passed to the terminal program 'date'. You can specify this as a parameter to test_all or by setting an environmental variable "GNUDATE_TIME_FORMAT". I am not modifying test_one.sh because I don't know if it is used in the automated test running, it seems to be there for developer usage. Here is the first stage of my patch
