[9fans] fossil output suggestion

[andrey mirtchovski]

I'm wondering: would it be a good idea to put some sort of timestamps on the
fossil debugging output?

Consider this morning's findings:

disk: io=10004 at 6.913ms
disk: io=10000 at 9.081ms
disk: io=10000 at 0.714ms
disk: io=10004 at 0.767ms
disk: io=10000 at 20.019ms
disk: io=10000 at 18.242ms

I'd like to be able to connect that with regular activities such as a
'snap -a'

same goes for the fossil console output -- maybe the prompt should be the
current time :)

ps: I know fossil doesn't do logging, and thanx to Nemo I have the
information saved using:

	cat /srv/fscons > /sys/log/fossil

how about a program similar to 'logger' in lunix, which just logs whatever
is piped to it with proper timestamps:

	cat /srv/fscons | logger /sys/log/fossil

that may be a better solution, no? should I write one? no? :)

for your consideration,

	andrey

i had a logging system in one of the pre-cursors to fossil which
i was going to add, but lost interest.

all our consoles are managed and logged with consolefs + clog.
looking in /sys/log/mkfile, the following might work for you:

	aux/clog /srv/fscons /sys/log/fossil &
