When using the -l option, the date you get is in "seconds past the epoch",
or the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970.
This makes it easy for things like what you're doing. You just take the
current time in seconds, add 24 hours worth of seconds to it and then do
the comparison to see if it will expire before of after that number.
There may be a way to print the time this way using a NetBackup command
(may be undocumented), but can't think of anything. You can also use Perl
to print the time
perl -e 'print time'
If you want to take a date like this and convert it to a normal date, the
NBU command for that is bpdbm -ctime <seconds>

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Scripting ejection of tapes based on
search criteria.
Morning all!
I have a question about 'bpmedialist -mlist -l'. I would like to search
for tapes that are Active/Full/Frozen or Suspended that will not expire
within the next 24 hours. I know that bpmedialist -mlist -l contains the
information for when the tape was last written to and when it will expire
but have no idea how to decode the timestamp information.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Timothy.
