Re: Getting "absolute" time in Linux

In comp.os.linux.networking Boris Benenson <boris.benenson@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Is there a way in either standard or Real-time Linux to get "absolute
number of ticks (or seconds) since the Epoc (or some other configurable
starting point), regardless of the kernel clock resets via
settimeofday() and the RTC resets via hwclock set and regardless of the
system reboots?

man date
/%s

Good luck
