Bourne Shell Date Conversions

Timothy P. Jackson — Thu, 13 Mar 2003 13:56:14 GMT

I am writing a script to keep track of how many days it been since certian files hav e been updated. Does any one know of a 'C' or shell program that converts from standard "mm/dd/yyyy" format to internal date and then be able to convert an internal date back into "mm/dd/yyyy" format?

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,

Here's a link to one of the many threads that references A. Clay Stephenson's caljd script:

If you search through the ITRC forums for caljd you'll come across many examples of this great script in action!

regards,

Darren.
