VBE,

Great links, thanks.

I found what I needed but its with perl. Can somebody show me how I can
call this within a KSH script.

I want to do something like this calc_time=$(perl code .....)

Thanks



Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use POSIX;
print strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\n", localtime((time() - 7200));
