Input only in seconds?
Authored by: EddEdmondson on Jul 08, '04 05:30:42AM
Want to know how many seconds there are in a day without opening the calculator and working it out by hand?

Open Terminal.app and type units. Then follow the prompt to get output like
You have: 2 days
You want: seconds
* 172800
/ 5.787037e-06

The number after the multiplier is what you want. The one after '/' is just the reciprocal because for some results that's easier to use.

This works with all sorts of units - for example, the famous
You have: attoparsec/microfortnight
You want: inch/second
* 1.0043268
/ 0.99569184
