How do I convert this date to the number of seconds, so I can compare it to the system date? If it is over 2 days old.
I have this code but it doesn't work. I'm getting an error message when I ran it. I think its because $dateFile is a text file and it doesn't know how to convert it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I just noticed you have cut the minutes value out of the original date - I'm assuming this was a mistake and your cut command should probably have been cut -d ':' -f 2-4
If your system has GNU date you can use date -d STRING to display time described by STRING eg:
If you don't have GNU date you can use a perl program to achieve the same thing (most systems seem to have perl available).
save this a epoch.pl and chmod +x epoch.pl:
The you can call it like this
