ts from the moreutils package prefixes every input line with a timestamp; the '%F %T' format yields date and time like 2026-08-09 11:47:50. Piping log output through ts gives every analysis step a recorded time. This is invaluable for auditing long-running jobs and measuring step durations. Plain ts adds only a time, without the date.
