Pmlogger timespec question

Hi,
   I’m seeing an oddity when trying to specify an absolute end time for pmlogger. Easiest to explain with an example:


The following fails, note the "End of run time”:

-bash-4.2$ date
Wed Feb 15 08:58:29 EST 2017


-bash-4.2$ /usr/bin/pmlogger -c /etc/pcp/pmmgr/test_log.conf -T '@ 08:51:00' -l ./pmlogger.log ./archives/archive-test


-bash-4.2$ cat pmlogger.log
Log for pmlogger on euca-172-17-53-44 started Wed Feb 15 08:58:33 2017

preprocessor cmd: /usr/libexec/pcp/bin/pmcpp -rs /etc/pcp/pmmgr/test_log.conf -I /var/lib/pcp/config/pmlogger
Config parsed
Starting logger for host "euca-172-17-53-44" via "local:"
Archive basename: ./archives/archive-test
pmlogger: End of run time, exiting

Log finished Wed Feb 15 08:58:33 2017



I would have expected this to run until 08:51 tomorrow.


The following works fine, runs for ~30 seconds and exits as expected.

-bash-4.2$ /usr/bin/pmlogger -c /etc/pcp/pmmgr/test_log.conf -T '@ 08:59:00' -l ./pmlogger.log ./archives/archive-test



This also runs fine, is currently running and I expect it to run until 7:51 tomorrow if I leave it.

-bash-4.2$ /usr/bin/pmlogger -c /etc/pcp/pmmgr/test_log.conf -T '@ 07:51:00' -l ./pmlogger.log ./archives/archive-test


Any ideas?  Seems to be an issue with specifying the current hour, but minutes prior to current.

Thanks

Martins
