dictating my time-zone

nod-a1 · 2015-10-01 00:58:08

Always find my-self counting the seconds of system-uptime to make sure my clocking operation proceeds smoothly, also works profoundly well as a hard-core-fire-wall for my system.

However, have forgotten to tell my conky-system to display time and date in a discrete manner so I wont distract my-self from work, just to keep it up there in my sub-counscious-mind.

Any ideas?

I have no idea what the question is here.

Can you state it more plainly please?

Perhaps he wants his conky clock in seconds since the UNIX epoch?

the seconds of system-uptime
display time and date

Three different things also "discreet".
Image of:

TEXT
 ${time %T}${alignr}${time %x}
${alignc}UTC ${tztime UTC  %T}
${alignc}${time %z}
${alignc}${uptime}

IF this is possible, yes. That would be incredible use-full. Not kidding, you got any ideas?
EDIT: btw, I am sorry, but please don't assume gender, that is way over my head.

I think:

${time %s}

may be what you're after then - if I am understanding that correctly. From the strftime man page -

 %s     The number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). (TZ)

EDIT: I swear that ^ was not there when I responded.

UNIX epoch: ${time %s}

The command you have: ${time %s}

Now the in a discrete manner is a personal thing and depends if you want it in a conky by itself like a one line conky top middle.

Scrot and the conky

discrete enough?

S11 has been offtopic ${times %s} times, but not today. tongue
