ctime conversion
I am actually trying to get a script to move our backup tapes from one system to another and the assigned date / time is in the format ... 02/01/2002 10:13:17 AM. To import the tapes there is a parameter for the assigned time but it needs ctime which, in this case is ... 1012587197.
I know of DTConverter but it does not have any command line switches to automatically perform the task within a script.
If I give the initial format a variable named for e.g. ASSIGNED, how can I use that to get another variable name for e.g. CASSIGNED which will have the inital $ASSIGNED converted to ctime?
Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks kindly for any help that you can give.
BTW - I am running the sctipt on an NT 2000 server using the UNIX Korn Shell utilities.
NIce way to make NT useful, install UNIX commands on it...

CTIME(2) System Calls Manual CTIME(2)
NAME
ctime, localtime, gmtime, asctime, timezone - convert date and time to ASCII
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
char* ctime(long clock)
Tm* localtime(long clock)
Tm* gmtime(long clock)
char* asctime(Tm *tm)
/env/timezone
DESCRIPTION
Ctime converts a time clock such as returned by time(2) into ASCII (sic) and returns a pointer to a 30-byte string in the following form.
All the fields have constant width.
Wed Aug 5 01:07:47 EST 1973
Localtime and gmtime return pointers to structures containing the broken-down time. Localtime corrects for the time zone and possible day-
light savings time; gmtime converts directly to GMT. Asctime converts a broken-down time to ASCII and returns a pointer to a 30-byte
string.
typedef
struct {
int sec; /* seconds (range 0..59) */
int min; /* minutes (0..59) */
int hour; /* hours (0..23) */
int mday; /* day of the month (1..31) */
int mon; /* month of the year (0..11) */
int year; /* year A.D. - 1900 */
int wday; /* day of week (0..6, Sunday = 0) */
int yday; /* day of year (0..365) */
char zone[4]; /* time zone name */
} Tm;
When local time is first requested, the program consults the timezone environment variable to determine the time zone and converts accord-
ingly. (This variable is set at system boot time by init(8).) The timezone variable contains the normal time zone name and its difference
from GMT in seconds followed by an alternate (daylight) time zone name and its difference followed by a newline. The remainder is a list
of pairs of times (seconds past the start of 1970, in the first time zone) when the alternate time zone applies. For example:
EST -18000 EDT -14400
9943200 25664400 41392800 57718800 ...
Greenwich Mean Time is represented by
GMT 0

BUGS
The return values point to static data whose content is overwritten by each call.
Daylight Savings Time is ``normal'' in the Southern hemisphere.
These routines are not equipped to handle non-ASCII text, and are provincial anyway.
