I haven't heard of any. But seems just about as good a time as any for a few pints
Of course I will be in work until a few hours after. Oh well.

I would like to know if the "Epoch" problem (on September 9, 2001) i.e. when the Unix clock counter will hit 100000000 will create a problem for programs that are dependent on system and server times.

Hi all,
I got a file with epoch times like this.
1264010700
1264097400
1263529800
1263762900

What I want.
I want all epoch times which are > current epoch time written to a file. So everything that is < will be ignored and not written to the file.

One way of getting epoch time in solaris is

Is there any other simple command that can be run from Korn Shell to display epoch time in solaris 5.10? (3 Replies)

convdate
CONVDATE(1) InterNetNews Documentation CONVDATE(1)
NAME
convdate - Convert to/from RFC 5322 dates and seconds since epoch
SYNOPSIS
convdate [-dhl] [-c | -n | -s] [date ...]
DESCRIPTION
convdate translates the date/time strings given on the command line, outputting the results one to a line. The input can either be a date
in RFC 5322 format (accepting the variations on that format that innd(8) is willing to accept), or the number of seconds since epoch (if -c
is given). The output is either ctime(3) results, the number of seconds since epoch, or a Usenet Date: header, depending on the options
given.
If date is not given, convdate outputs the current date.
OPTIONS
-c Each argument is taken to be the number of seconds since epoch (a time_t) rather than a date.
-d Output a valid Usenet Date: header instead of the results of ctime(3) for each date given on the command line. This is useful for
testing the algorithm used to generate Date: headers for local posts. Normally, the date will be in UTC, but see the -l option.
-h Print usage information and exit.
-l Only makes sense in combination with -d. If given, Date: headers generated will use the local time zone instead of UTC.
-n Rather than outputting the results of ctime(3) or a Date: header, output each date given as the number of seconds since epoch (a
time_t). This option doesn't make sense in combination with -d.
-s Pass each given date to the RFC 5322 date parser and print the results of ctime(3) (or a Date: header if -d is given). This is the
default behavior.
EXAMPLES
Most of these examples are taken, with modifications from the original man page dating from 1991 and were run in the EST/EDT time zone.
% convdate '10 Feb 1991 10:00:00 -0500'
Sun Feb 10 10:00:00 1991
% convdate '13 Dec 91 12:00 EST' '04 May 1990 0:0:0'
Fri Dec 13 12:00:00 1991
Fri May 4 00:00:00 1990
% convdate -n '10 feb 1991 10:00' '4 May 90 12:00'
666198000
641880000
% convdate -c 666198000
Sun Feb 10 10:00:00 1991
ctime(3) results are in the local time zone. Compare to:
% convdate -dc 666198000
Sun, 10 Feb 1991 15:00:00 +0000 (UTC)
% env TZ=PST8PDT convdate -dlc 666198000
Sun, 10 Feb 1991 07:00:00 -0800 (PST)
% env TZ=EST5EDT convdate -dlc 666198000
Sun, 10 Feb 1991 10:00:00 -0500 (EST)
The system library functions generally use the environment variable TZ to determine (or at least override) the local time zone.
HISTORY
Written by Rich $alz <rsalz@uunet.uu.net>, rewritten and updated by Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu> for the -d and -l flags.
