man gettimeofday

You'll either have to write a simple C program or maybe use perl.

Hi,

Have a look at:

http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/ext/Time/HiRes/HiRes.pm

this will return Epoch seconds/milliseconds.

Dude:

man gettimeofday

It says it returns time expressed in seconds and microseconds since midnight January 1, 1970.

Looks like you need a 'C' call. Dat only returns the date in seconds.
