how to find the time in seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00 2

[crasho2001]

Hi,

I am trying to convert local time to seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00).

There is a C function ctime to do this job but I can not use it.
Is there any other way to do find time in seconds since Epoch.

Regards

This should do it.

[tt]perl -e 'use POSIX;print time."\n"'[/tt]

Note that it won't be adjusted for your time zone.

perl -e 'print time'

should do the trick.

On some versions of *nix you can use the 'date +%s' command, however it appears solaris 8.0 does not work.
