Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting KSH script Not working (calculate days since 1/1/2000 given day 4444) Post 302614781 by Chubler_XL on Wednesday 28th of March 2012 09:42:34 PM

Umm, I have Version M-12/28/93e and I get:

Code:
$ printf "%T\n" now
ksh93: printf: T: unknown format specifier

So I'm guessing you need a later version for this feature.

Your probably going to have to resort to perl for this sort of thing, eg from_epoch.pl:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Time::Local;
use POSIX qw(strftime);
print POSIX::strftime("%d %b %Y\n", localtime(timelocal(0,0,0,1,0,2000) + $ARGV[0]*24*3600));

Code:
$ ./from_epoch.pl 4444

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
