Operating Systems AIX Change specific (not current) date to timestamp Post 302509653 by thenomad on Thursday 31st of March 2011 11:26:43 AM

Well, I saw your awk solution and I am not sure if there is anything wrong with that. The command 'date' is a fickle b*+c4 (pardon the language) and doesn't work portably between any two flavor of UNIX for that matter. For instance %s is not a valid format on HPUX if this tells you something.

For date calcualtions, there is a script called caljd(.sh or .pl) written by A. Clay Stephenson (of HP ITRC Forums fame) which does a lot of things regarding date manipulation. It is mirrored somewhere under Merijn's HP-UX software for ITRC members. It might worth taking a look.
