The Solaris version of /bin/date does not support the '+%s' argument whereas GNU's date does.
According to (GNU) man date, it provides the following:
%s seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
Of course, this is also known as UNIXTIME or Epoch Time and is very useful for determining the difference between two dates.
Necessity being the mother of invention, I developed the following bash script to provide a common mechanism for both Solaris (10+) and Linux (RHEL 5+) to calculate an epoch time based on the input given. It is also compatible with anything else that can run the bash shell and has 'cut' somewhere in the path (e.g. CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, BSD, Cygwin, etc.).
So now it's possible to write a single script that works on multiple UNIX variants without installing additional binaries.
Here it is ...
--cut--
#!/bin/bash -r
# Script to calculate an accurate UNIX/Epoch time with the only external dependency being 'cut'.
