Use POSIX time for date format
It's much easier to do arithmetic operations on that format. If you substarct start date from end date in your script you will get how much the operation lasted in seconds.
If you need to convert standard time to POSIX time, perl and awk (strftime) support that.
It is required to calculate time difference in seconds between epoch time (19700101 00:00:00) and any given date time (e.g. 20010214 14:30:30).
Is there any command in unix to get it? Thanks in adv. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I'm using awk in HP-UX machine which does not support systime(), strftime(). So to get the date time I was using :

However the above code gets the date only once, next time it is not updated. For... (2 Replies)

sttime
sttime(3) ShapeTools Toolkit Library sttime(3)NAME
stMktime, stWriteTime - date and time handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <config.h>
#include <sttk.h.h>
time_tstMktime (char *string);
char*stWriteTime (time_t date);
DESCRIPTION
stMktime scans the given string and tries to read a date and time from it. It understands various formats of date strings. The following is
a list of all valid formats, optional parts in brackets.
[Tue] Jan 5[,] [19]93
This includes the standard asctime(3) format.
Jan 5 With no year given, the year defaults to the current year.
[19]93/01/05 This notation requires month and day represented by exactly two digits.
5.1.[19]93 This is the usual German notation.
5.1. German notation referencing the current year.
A certain time, given together with the date must always have the following form.
hours:minutes[:seconds]
Each of the fields must be an integer value within the proper range (hours: 0-23, minutes and seconds: 0-59). Values below
10 may be written as one digit numbers.
The time value may be placed anywhere in the date string: at the beginning, at the end, or somewhere in the middle. Any amount of white-
space may be given between a field of the time value and the separating colon. The time is always considered to be local time.
stWriteTime generates a time string similar to asctime(3) from its date argument.
SEE ALSO asctime(3)BUGS
Time Zone Names within the time string (like `MET') are not handled properly. In most cases they will cause a failure.
