Question

Help on date and time formats

I want to do the following in UNIX shell script (written in csh):

1) Get the time in seconds since 01.01.1970 (i.e. current datetime - 01.01.1970 = n seconds)

2) Get the current datetime in 06.02.2004 01:58:06 (GMT+1) format.

How can I do the above?

1) With GNU date command :

Code:

date +%s

Without ... you must compute it
see The armory.com Anonymous FTP Archives

2)

Code:

TZ=GMT+1 date+'%d.%m.%Y  %H:%M:%S'
