PS3: I'd like to get the raw date in brloop (a sh script). In perl I'd just use "time", and I can't see a way to get "date +" to yield the raw time. I could use "date=`perl -e 'print time'`" but that seems OTT, and perl may not be on teh users PATH. Any suggestions ?
"date '+%s'" does it under BSDI, but I'm not sure how portable it is.
This is what I got from SunOS 4.1.x $ date +%s date: bad format character - s Sounds like something my parents might have said ;-) Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dan Oelke Alcatel Network Systems droelke@aud.alcatel.com Richardson, TX
