[SLUG] Shell Script - Time Function

[Steven Kerr <linux.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IS there an easy way to assign the time (# seconds since the 1970 (?)
to a shell variable.

I know that the time function in c (time.h) returns this value, but is
there a command that returns this value.

Thanks in advance

S
