_time - UDM Built-in Variable


The _time built-in variable displays the current time.

It has several variable attributes:

hh

Resolves to the two-digit hour (24-hour time).

mm

Resolves to the two-digit minute.

ss

Number of seconds that have elapsed since the current minute.

hs

Resolves to the number of hundredths of a second that have elapsed since the last second.

You only can reference _time in your scripts; it cannot be set using the set command.


A Stonebranch Tip

You can use the _time variable in combination with the print command to display custom time information in UDM's transaction log:

print msg="It is now $(_time.hh):$(_time.mm)"

Produces the following output:

It is now 23:31
