Search the archive of this list. This has been discussed before. You can use a trick such as this: yesterday=$(TZ=EST26EDT date +%a) but beaware that this is not a portable solution. You can write your own script. E-mail me off line and I can send you mine yesterday script. -Original Mes

Correct - I was sure that I had a set of test results to prove my point, but I didn't - so I've just run a series of tests on enqueue and buffer busy waits on an 8.1.7.4 system and you are absolutely right - the seconds_in_wait does not reset as the wait completes. Thanks, Jonathan Lewis
