long get_secs_since_midnight(void)

char * curr_hr; /* pointer to a parameter with current clock hr */

char * curr_min; /* pointer to a parameter with current clock min*/

char * curr_sec; /* pointer to a parameter with current clock sec */

long current_time, /* current number of seconds since midnight */

hr_secs, /* current hour converted to secs */

min_secs, /* current minutes converted to secs */

secs_secs; /* current number of seconds */
curr_hr = lr_eval_string("{current_hr}>");

curr_min = lr_eval_string("{current_min}");

curr_sec = lr_eval_string("{current_sec}");
hr_secs = (atoi(curr_hr)) * 60 * 60;

min_secs = (atoi(curr_min)) * 60;

secs_secs = atoi(curr_sec);

current_time = hr_secs + min_secs + secs_secs;

return(current_time);}
