Hi,
Is there a command that will return the system time as an integral
value? I know that UNIX systems store it as an integer value anyway,
but I'd like to have a command that will return as such, instead of as
formatted date/time stuff.
The reason is, I'd like to be able to perform simple arithmetic to
subtract a day and such. This is for use in a Korn shell script.
Currently, what I'm using is a TCL script I wrote that does this for me,
but I was just wondering if there was a way of doing this without having
to call a sub process.
Just curiosity.
