Depending on your OS you may be able to use the date command to read the modification time of the /proc/$PID directory:

Code:
date -r /proc/$$ +"%Y/%m%d %T"

On some systems this gives the current time on others the process start time.

NAME
ranlib - table-of-contents for archive libraries SYNOPSIS
ranlib [-t] file ... DESCRIPTION
Ranlib creates a table of external references for archive libraries, normally used by the loader, ld(1). This table is is named ``__.SYMDEF'' and is prepended to the archive. Files in the archive which are not executable and symbols which are uninteresting to the loader are ignored. The options are as follows: -t Set the modification time of the __.SYMDEF file. This time is compared by the loader with the modification time of the archive to verify that the table is up-to-date with respect to the archive. If the modification time has been changed without any change to the archive (for example, by a cp(1)), the -t option can be used to ``touch'' the modification time so that it appears that the ta- ble is up-to-date.
