date doesn't work as expexcted after reading the man page. In order to set the date you need to do: $ date <date in some weird format>
The command: $ date --set=<date in some weird format> doesn't appear to work. For example look at this session: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date 0426172006 Qua Abr 26 17:20:00 WEST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date --set=0426172006 date: invalid date `0426172006' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANGUAGE=en_US sudo date --set="0426172006" date: invalid date `0426172006' The first command syntax (the only that actually work) isn't documented in the man page. It's quite puzzling! Best regards _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
