Even when you specify the format

date -d '2007-01-01 010101' +'%Y-%m-%D %H%M%S'
date: invalid date `2007-01-01 010101'

I'd also like to see support for setting times based on date formats.

To make a copy of the entire date in order to set it seems erroneous ( why you may even lose precision esp. where sudo is required)

With consideration,

Warren Crossing.

I know, and I am glad, but as I wrote in my original message, the forms
without punctuation would also be useful (to me anyway) to support.

The punctuation is already optional:

$ date -d 20070508\ 1406
Tue May  8 14:06:00 PDT 2007

The original post also talked about seconds...

$ date -d 20070508\ 14:06:25
Tue May  8 14:06:25 PDT 2007
$ date -d 20070508\ 140625
date: invalid date `20070508 140625'
$ date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 6.9
