alarmd time syntax?
 

What's the syntax used for assigning a time to an event in slarmd?

I have an event scheduled at 9 p.m. (21:00), & in /var/cache/alarmd/alarm_queue.ini the event's section has alarm_time as 1322362800.

How is 21:00 translated into 1322362800? It's not seconds after midnight.

Quick reply...
1322362800s=367323h
377323h=15305d+3h
15305d~42 years (don't know exactly)
21:00 is 3h before midnight.
Hope it helps.
Best wishes.

The time is stored in standard UNIX/POSIX format ("epoch time"). You can play with it here:

Thank you. So: Unix time, or POSIX time, is a system for describing instances in time, defined as the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), 1 January 1970, not counting leap seconds.
Best wishes.
