about /proc/$pid/stat 's start time

hi all:

i have a problem about the stat file, i find the book say the stat file contain the start time, but how transform it to normarl datetime(2004-05-12 10:00),thanks

This will do.

Code:

void print_time(int pid)

{

        static int ppid;

        unsigned long time;

        char ch;

        char buffer[256];

        FILE *f;

        sprintf(buffer,"/proc/%d/stat",pid);

        if (!(f = fopen(buffer,"rt")))

                return ;

        fscanf(f,"%*d %*s %*c %lu",&ppid,buffer,&ch,&time);

        printf("%s\n",ctime(time));

        fclose(f);

}

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <time.h>



void print_time(int pid)

{

        static int ppid;

        unsigned long time;

        char ch;

        char buffer[256];

        FILE *f;

        sprintf(buffer,"/proc/%d/stat",pid);

        if (!(f = fopen(buffer,"rt")))

                return ;

        fscanf(f,"%*d %*s %*c %lu",&ppid,buffer,&ch,&time);

        printf("%s\n",ctime(time));

        fclose(f);

}







main()

{

        int pid=3965;

        print_time(pid);

}

the run result:
[root@server2 root]# ./a.out
Wed Oct 3 23:48:59 2007

what wrong about this;
as the same time i use this command'result is this
[root@server2 root]# ps -aux|grep 3965
root 3965 0.0 0.3 4292 860 ? S Jun17 0:03 /bin/bash /surebet/bin/checktimeout.sh
