Classic coding from me......

import java.util.Date;


public class Timer {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

int loop = 0 ;

while( true ){

if( ( new Date().getTime() / 1000 ) > 1234567891 ){
System.out.println( "And the time sponored by minestrone is - " + ( new Date().getTime() / 1000 ) );
}
else{
new Thread().currentThread().sleep(1000) ;
System.out.println( "zzzzz becasue it is - " + new Date().getTime() ) ;
}

if( loop++ > 100000 ){
break ;
}

}
}

}

gives

And the time sponored by minestrone is - 1234567898
And the time sponored by minestrone is - 1234567898
And the time sponored by minestrone is - 1234567898
And the time sponored by minestrone is - 1234567898

It's doing fireworks!

Not sure about that, but they will stop fitting into a 32-bit signed integer in 2038.

System.out.println( new Date().getTime() );

When does that date bust the limit of the memory area it is put in with unix systems?

Great lizards think alike!

I have just run

watch -n1 echo 'Time since epoch: `date +"%s"`s'

on my ubuntu laptop, watching it now

Another lizard, of the Giant Alien variety, beat you to it.

Although it warrants repeating.
