	Tomorrow, on `Sat Jan 10 05:37:04 2004`, local time (PST), the UNIX timebase will be exactly 2 to the 30th, exactly "halfway" to the "UNIX time rollover catastrophe". You can run echo $((1073741824 - $(date +%s))) at a UNIX shell prompt to watch it count down.

s/shell/sh based shell/

expr 1073741824 - `date +%s`
is more portable.

Since +%s is itself, a GNU extension, the odds are nearly 100% that it if works at all, it will be at a bash or ksh prompt...

Huh, works with FreeBSD's sh, which I didn't think was bash or ksh based but I could be wrong.
