The STRING can be in many different formats. `date -d 'last tuesday'` also works, for example. You have to add a whole new section to the man page -- or just refer to the info page ;-) Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Converting time formats
Dale asks: I asked this once before but I can't find it. I have a log file that has time stamps that look like this: lastrun = 1306574899 What do I use to get the human time for that? I thought it was the date command but I couldn't find it in the man page. I tried google but I can't recall what that time stamp is called either so not sure what to search for. It's seconds since 1970. You can convert them like this: date -d @1306574899 Wonko

BillK This was a pfl log. It doesn't contain all that. I used to run it manually but found that cron was set up to run it automajically. Thing is, I wasn't sure how to tell if it was working so I checked the log file. Well, the time stamp was not for human consumption, sort of like those little silicone bags in electronic stuff. That lead me to reading the date man page which I was pretty sure was the key but just missed one important detail, the little @ sign. Funny the things we run into sometimes. I did add the command to my freq-commands file tho. This is how you convert time from the log files to human time. Don't forget the @ sign. date -d @insert time stamp here I went back to the man page, it sort of left the @ out on mine: -d, --date=STRING display time described by STRING, not `now' No mention of the @ sign there. It does say to read the info file but I very rarely get into those. I never have had any good luck with them. I felt like I was in Hotel California once before.
