Package: shellutils Version: 2.0.11-1 Severity: wishlist As a programmer, I often encounter dates in the time_t format (e.g. 983370715), and I'd like the 'date' command to understand them and to display them in a more readable way. Unfortunately, GNU date seems to provide no way (no documented way, at least) to use that format as input. Someone suggested a trick to me, but I guess you'll agree it's ugly: $ date -d 'Jan 1 1970 00:00:983370715 GMT' So, I hereby express a wish for a new input format for 'date'. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux cachemir 2.4.0 #1 Thu Jan 25 14:01:26 CET 2001 i686 unknown Versions of the packages shellutils depends on: ii libc6 2.2.2-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii login 20000902-2 System login tools hurd Not installed or no info _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
