Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,


Please read the below data carefully.


I need an unix command for converting unix timestamp to Epoch timestamp.


I need to daily convert this today's unix(UTC) time to epoch time, so i am thinking to make a shellscript for this.


Please help me for this by providing the commands.


Eg: 08 Mar 2012 08:00:00 UTC to epoch time

and 08 Mar 2012 06:00:00 UTC to epoch time


for epochtime details you can refer this link

If you have GNU date, you could do this:

Code:

$ date -d "08 Mar 2012 08:00:00" +%s
1331193600

Thanks a lot balajesuri
