If you are running actions from a trap receipt, try inlining the date
command in your script.  For example, if your script is called 'my_script':

my_script `date` (other variables)

That may/may not work, haven't tried.  Your other option would be to write a
driver script for your other script/actions.  This will work:

--
#!/bin/sh

my_script `date` $@
--

The 3rd option (the one that I use):  // Exert from an app

      readPdu = OVsnmpRecv(trapSession);

      if (readPdu != NULL) {

        // Determine current date
        current_time = time(NULL);
        current_local_time = localtime(&current_time);
        status = strftime(current_time_string,
                          MAX_TIME_FORMAT_STRING_LENGTH,
                          DATE_TIME_FORMAT_STRING,
                          current_local_time);

Any of them is fine.

Are you looking for when the trap is sent from the remote asset or received
on the NMS?

There is no trap time in trapd.conf.  Did you mean trapd.log?  That 
timestamp is trapd's when he logs the trap.  It is not available anywhere 
as a variable. 
Since he logs the traps only after he has sent the trap to all connected 
applications, it should be within the same second as what you would get if 
you use the date command in your script.

Hi everybody,
I used mib2trap for trap customization. Everything is OK now. (List 
archives
helped me a lot for the problems I faced)
I use automatic actions for specific traps. I just want to know how do I
pass the trap time to the custom scripts I wrote? (The time in trapd.conf 
I
mean)
