Dear All

a:=`date +%s`

all:
@date +%s
@sleep 2
@echo $a
@date +%s



After running make, how to make the first two numbers on screen identical?
thanks

I think this is the fourth post I've seen from you where you place your email in topic post. Thus, I am driven to conclude that you, sir, are an idiot and don't deserve a valid response.
Good day.

what is your problem if i leave my own email here?

Actually it's unfair to say that he doesn't deserve a reply. BUT, he does have a point. It is common knowledge not to place your e-mail publicly displayed on any type of website or forum. This is because spambots parse websites sources searching for e-mails (and possibly other malware-like things can use it too).

Second, use code tags for your code.

Well, it's also unfair to call someone an idiot for doing something with their own intent, especially if they're aware of the consequences.

But BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POST:
Sorry, but could you explain what your code is trying to achieve? I see you printing the date twice, but I don't really get what you mean by making "two numbers on screen identical". Which numbers are you referring to? The dates?

Firstly, [email protected] is not my primary email, so I don't care how much spam I will get.
secondly, I place my email here so I can search it by my email in google few years later, this is great advantage.

thanks, it works
