Unnecessary division / multiplication in senderprotocol.py ' clock' method about python-protobix HOT 2 CLOSED

@HumanUser actually you're right :)

Python time.time() method returns an epoch time in seconds, ie the number of seonds since the 1st of january 1970.
Zabbix requires also an epoch timestamp.

What I wanted to get as default clock value is the current minute, not second, ie 18:34:00 and not 18:34:35, which is more convenient for Zabbix graphs.
That said, I figured out I should use int(time.time()/60)*60 to get the right result :-/
