ISO 8601 format (time)

ISO 8601 format (time)

[Roy Lanek]

What about adding a ...

  -ti

    timestamp. Prefix each selected line with a human
    readable, sortable, ISO 8601 compliant timestamp of
    the form YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.xxxxx when writing to log
    or to standard error.

in the options of svlogd (runit/socklog)?

Notice the difference: -tt uses '_', -ti 'T' ... example:

    2006-05-11_02:45:09.25607 vs. 2006-05-11T02:45:09.25607

-tt is fine, but not *standard* (ISO); on the other hand,
it can't be changed *a posteriori* that easily/quickly.

Cheers,

This is the 3rd request of this kind IIRC, so maybe it's not that
a bad idea.  Personally I find the underscore much better to read.
