If I write a simple program:
import java.util.Date;
public class DateTest
{
static void
main (
String args [])
{
Date now = new Date ();
System.out.println ("Now = " + (now.getTime () / 1000));
}
}
And the run it:
/tmp,5:05pm> java DateTest
Now = 1013573273
/tmp,5:07pm> date +%s
1013573276
The results are what I expect it to be (ie 3 seconds difference from
when I ran the java program and when I typed in "date +%s"). So, from
what I see, there doesn't appear to be a problem with the Date object
at all.
