Re: [HTCondor-users] convert from 'date +"%H-%M %m-%d-%Y"' to seconds from 1970

["Beyer, Christoph" <christoph.beyer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks, maybe my question was a bit misleading, I know there are a couple of ways to convert date formats into unix time and back. 

What I mean to do is put a 'human readable time' into a classadd: 

down.time = "2020-05-06 12:00" 

and use it for start calculations where I need it to be unix time, hence 

down.time.sec = abstime(down.time) 

Seems to be a way but I do not get it to work right now, maybe someone is using the abstime() function and can give me a hint, it needs to go into the startd_add obviously ...

best
christoph

Maybe this one?

~$ date --date "2020-04-25 12:30" +%s
1587810600
