'unixtime' is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 01/01/1970

So, 1min = 60sec, 1hour = 3600sec, 1 day = 86400 ..you get the idea...

If I understand you correctly you want to check if something is older than 2 hours, and you have the unixtime for when it was written to your db.

So just take current unixtime - 'the time it was written to the db', and see if its bigger than 7200 (2hours in seconds)

Code:

if {[expr [unixtime] - $pred_time] > 7200} { # it pre'd more than 2 hours ago.}

hi, thx for your answer but my problem is not to calculate the time format, it is how i must define the variable "back_dvdr" to the right format maybe i have a little understanding problem atm (it's hot outside)

cheers

Set the bouth times in the same format, I mean the current time and the old time. Also, have a look here and please do use the search function..

I there, i have short question,

I have a DB in which is a date stored in unixtime, checking back how old it is works fine, but now i want to implement something like a routine which calculates if the time of the object on the databae is older than a definied time here is my try, but it didn't work :ü

Code:

if {$what == "DVDR"} {                    set pred_release [lindex $outp 0]                    set pred_section [lindex $outp 1]                    set pred_time [lindex $outp 2]                    set pred_reason [lindex $outp 5]                                        set pred_dbtime [unixtime ]                    incr pred_dbtime -$pred_time                    set pred_time2 $pred_time                    set pred_ago [duration $pred_dbtime]                    set back_dvdr "120"                    incr back_dvdr -$pred_dbtime                    set back_calc [duration $back_dvdr]                                        set pred_time3 [clock format $pred_time2 -format "%D %T"]                                        if {[string tolower $pre_channel1] == [string tolower $chan] && $back_calc < $pred_ago} {

so anyone can help me with this?
