Hello,
is it possible with date to set the time it shall display with the number of seconds, one gets from the output of: ' %s seconds since 00:00:00, Jan 1, 1970 (a GNU extension)' If not I would suggest to implement this possibility, because it could be quite practical for use in shell sctips. The reason is as follows: In one of my scripts I use 'date +%s' as time step as part of a identification number and I would later be able to display the date of the identification again. As far as I see, date does not accept the single number, so one could use this free function like: date 1006589268 with best regards JR -- Jens R�der, Braunschweig _______________________________________________ Bug-sh-utils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-sh-utils
