Adds a timestamp before alog from a script

awk -v sec=$(date -u +%s) '{print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",sec), $0; fflush();}'

in cron :

awk -v sec=$(date -u +\%s) '{print strftime("\%Y-\%m-\%d \%H:\%M:\%S",sec), $0; fflush();}'

So :

# echo hello world | awk -v sec=$(date -u +%s) '{print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",sec), $0; fflush();}'
