To make some time oriented comparisons in javelin2 I'd like to be
able to access the timestamps on the data dumps in the $SAVE_DIR.

In my experiments I've done this by pushing SAVE_DIR and
BASE_RELEASE into the subshell that calls javelin2 -m create in
grenade.sh.

Is there:

* A better way to get those two chunks of info (that is, without
   changing grenade.sh)?
* Some other way to get a timestamp that is a time shortly before
   the services in the TARGET_RELEASE have started?

The reason for doing this? I want to be able to confirm that some
sample data retrieved in a query against the ceilometer API has
samples that span the upgrade.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
