ASLExpireTime Format?

[Karl Moskowski]

I'm using ASL for logging, and I'm trying to make the messages persist in the main database for at least 30 days. In Peter Hosey's excellent blog series on ASL, there's a description of an undocumented key "ASLExpireTime" to accomplish this.

I'm doing something like this:

        aslmsg msg = asl_new(ASL_TYPE_MSG);

        asl_log(NULL, msg, level, "%s", [logMessage UTF8String]);





BTW, here's the blog, if anyone's interested:

NSCalendarDate *ttl = [[NSCalendarDate date] dateByAddingYears:0 months:0 days:30 hours:0 minutes:0 seconds:0]; asl_set(msg, "ASLExpireTime", [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.0f", [ttl timeIntervalSince1970]] UTF8String]); However, it doesn't seem to work. The log messages still get archived every Monday. Looking over the blog again, there's an implication that "ASLExpireTime" isn't the Unix time (seconds since 1970, like ASL_KEY_TIME), but rather a duration from now. Is that true?
