When was something created? 108965770 seconds since 1970 2

[Autosys]

Hi,

I'm farely new to Unix and need to track down when an entry was placed in a database.

I know it was 108965770 second after the year 1970. Has anyone ever written a script to work something like this out and display the value in a normal date time fasion?

Your help will be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

S

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $arg = shift;
print scalar localtime($arg), "\n";

A year is 31536000 seconds. Leap year is 31622400 seconds. If your numbers are correct, looks like 1973 sometime.
