Epoch Time

[Martin Schilk]

Does anyone know of a unix command (or perl scrip) that converts an epoch time into unix time?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi,


Following script converts epoch time into human (real) time. If "unix time" you mention means real time, that's it:

#include
main(argc, argv)

int argc;
char **argv;
{
time_t foo;
foo = atoi(argv[1]);
printf("%s",ctime(&foo));
}

Good luck,

Create a script as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl (or whatever)
print scalar localtime($ARGV[0]),"\n";

then you'll get:

$ script 994841017
Wed Jul 11 09:43:37 2001
$

Robin.

just a quick contribution to mention

timelocal, a perl function to convert date/time in epoch... always useful to compare dates.
