In another thread you say that strftime() should handle %s - but it does not in Solaris 10 and HP-UX 11.31!
I suggest to add a line in the perl code:
Code:
# Parse commandline arguments
while(defined($arg=shift)) {
        if($arg =~ /^--date=(.*)/)  {       $input=$1;                  }
        elsif($arg eq "-d")         {       $input=shift;               }
        elsif($arg =~/^\+(.*)/)     {       $cmdstr=$1;
           if ($cmdstr=~/(?<!%)%s/) { my $t=time; $cmdstr=~s/(?<!%)%s/$t/g; } }
        elsif($arg eq "-q")         {       $quiet=1;                   }
