Oops - I really shouldn't type before my second cup of coffee.

This didn't really work on HP-UX.

HP-UX has tusc rather than truss but makes the latter a symlink to the
former.   It appeared to work because of the hardcoded values used form
his truss output.   Playing with tusc I didn't see anything that looked
like the value used (even when checking for hex equivalent).

I may play with it later to see if I can figure out how to make it work
but the perl script posted by someone else ought to work.

Interesting Solaris 9 answer - works on my HP-UX 11i master as well.

Does anyone know how I can recalculate what a date would be if I added
558
days to it?
For instance, what date would it be 558 days after July 7, 2008?


On a Solaris 9 master server (no "date -d", no stat command, *with*
bpdbm
;-), Eastern time:

# truss -v stat touch -t 200807070000 foo 2>&1 | grep at | tail -1 | awk
'{ print $9 }'
1215403200
# expr 558 \* 86400
48211200
# expr 1215403200 + 48211200
1263614400
# bpdbm -ctime 1263614400
1263614400 = Fri Jan 15 23:00:00 2010

HTH,

Ron
