So, basically I just need to find out if this is caused by a user error, or if it does in fact have a timestamp bug in it.
The reported epoch time is 00005827313, in human readable format it would be GMT: Mon, 09 Mar 1970 10:41:53 GMT
The other thing I noted is that this program is not in the default path or exported, why is this, shouldn't it be a companion to all of the other vmware- and esxcfg- commands ?
Btw, the system time is correct, and is set using NTP servers.
