Here's a snippet from an old email.

Haven't tried it, haven't had to yet...but sounds like a winner.

Good luck

David

If you really need to do that, you can use the gnu date utility. You can
download the source code at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/gnu/sh-utils/. The
syntax is:

date -d "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS" "+%s"

Hope that helps.

Rod.

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -ctime unix_time

This is the command to use, am unaware of any scripts that might do the same
thing.

Now, here's a question for everyone: How do you convert date/time format to
unix time?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] vmquery


Out of curiosity don't know how to convert to UNIX time? here what I am
looking for :

I can do this:
$bpdbm -ctime 897897865
897897865 = Mon Jun 15 04:04:25 1998
But how can I convert "Mon Jun 15 04:04:25 1998" back to "897897865"? The
reason that I am asking because I am using the command vmquery to reassign
media to an  other pool:
Example:
$vmquery -m media_id (to get the pool_number the status 0,1,2)
$vmquery  -deassignbyid <media_id> <pool_number> <status>
$vmquery  -assignbyid <media_id> <media_type> <pool_number> <status>
<assigntime>
and here where get stuck assigntime it must be a UNIX time.

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks


Adam
