chronox

======= A simple Rust utility to convert log files from local time to UTC 🦀.

It takes dates in Month Day HH:MM:SS format and converts it to YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS Z format.

For example using a -06:00 offset:

Aug 27 00:00:00 host systemd[1]: Reloaded httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server.

Gets converted to:

2023-08-27 06:00:00 UTC host systemd[1]: Reloaded httpd.service - The Apache HTTP Server.

Usage

chronox can be used from the command line with the following syntax:

chronox [logfile] [timezone offset]

The timezone offset needs to be in -+00:00 format.

A file with the suffix -chronox will be saved in the same directory as the original file.

Gotchas

• The utility assumes the year is current year.
• Only files that use Month Day HH:MM:SS format would work (Like messages or syslog).
