in thre process of writing an Atom-feed-generator in bash, I discovered what MIGHT be a bug/documentation misinterpretation in GNU date's --iso-8601 switch when invoked with "ns" or "seconds" as a parameter.
--iso-8601 is deprecated since coreutils 5.90.
RFC3339 and some documents regarding ISO 8601 I could find on the web quickly seem to suggest that the time-offset component of the output should match the regex /\d\d:\d\d/; date, however, matches /\d\d\d\d/.
I think --rfc-3339=seconds will do what you want. Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
