Converting seconds to dates /tcb/files/auth files

[Chuck Sims]

Aloha,

Does anyone have a good (read easy) way to convert the seconds found in the /tcb/files/auth files to readable dates?

Thanks...

Hi Chuck

Not sure if you're aware but the following command does this for you:
# /usr/lbin/getprpw

Apologies if this is not what you're after apologies...

Cheers

Hi Chuck,

If you are looking to convert the seconds from Jan 1 1970 to dates then

# echo "0dseconds=Y" | adb

Seconds is from the tcb files.

Thanks,

Sundar.

Hi,

If you have perl installed you can run:

perl -e 'print scalar localtime()."\n"'

For example:

$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime (1000000000)."\n"'

Aloha,

Many thanks to Con, Sundara, and Ollie. Three great answers. All right on the money. Now I've got lots of options.
