Suggestion: improve -sdate option

[marcodigennaro]

I often need to check all the jobs submitted today, or in the last hour.
I would suggest to insert TODAY as an option and eventually also to set the last hour as default since there is none.

[gpetretto]

By default jf job list should return only the latest 100 jobs according to the last time the job was modified. This can be increased or decreased with the -m option
Other options are available to filter based on time of last modification:

• jf job list -ds 2
  

  will print the jobs modified in the last two days.

• jf job list -sdate 2023-09-01 -edate 2023-09-10
  

  will print the jobs last modified from September 1st to 10th. It can also be -sdate 2023-09-05T19:00:00 to specify the time.
  Full list of options with jf job list -h.

Do you think this would be enough? Would it be better to also have a --hours option for jobs modified in the last N hours?

[marcodigennaro]

jf job list -ds 1 gives back the last 24 hours (so many jobs are from yesterday).
The --hours is a nice idea.
Another alternative would be to specify only the hours in the current -sdate option and allow the %H:%M:%S' format only, with the implicit assumption of %Y-%m-%d' being today

[gpetretto]

Pushed a change that should allow both these options (hours and specify only an hour of the current day): 7bcd12e.
Can you test and let me know if this solves your issue?

[marcodigennaro]

It works! Thanks

Just commenting on this issue, supposing it's 10 past midnight and I put -sdate 23:00:00, it would be nice to show things in the last 1h10m. What do you think ? (so the assumption is not exactly TODAY's date, but last corresponding time in the last 24 hours).

[marcodigennaro]

To my understanding, in your case --hours 2 gives the last 2 hours and -ds 1 gives the last 24 hours.
TODAY is not implemented at this stage, but it is equivalent to -sdate '00:00:00'

[davidwaroquiers]

Yes I undestood that TODAY's was not implemented. Indeed --hours can be used to see things in the last N hours. I was thinking about -sdate 19:30:00 which would be "last time since last 19h30". I think as it is now, if it is between 19h30 and 23h59, it will work fine, once it is 00h01 (next day), it will return nothing.

Anyway it's just a detail, @gpetretto if you think it's not worth (and/or tedious to implement), just close the issue again :)
