Not sure what stat is. I am on AIX 5.3 and it does not find stat. I see the stat function in Wikipedia. Not sure why AIX 5.3 does not seem to use it. Any ideas? Perhaps it is part of a utility that is not installed? Found istat, however there are no options to convert to seconds. Your solution is great, however I need an AIX 5.3 compatible solution.
