Hi,
Your date set feature is horribly broken and/or misleadingly documented.
Per your documentation, these should work (date [-u|--utc|--universal]
[MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]])
date -s 11061137 <enter>
date -s 110611372002 <enter>
What is your format????
date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]
-s, --set=STRING
set time described by STRING
The + sign causes an error.
None of the % FORMAT options work
Give an example. You appear to accept one format for reading, but not for
setting. The 2 operations should be 100% reversible. Bad design and/or
implementation.
Use Perl::Date::Manip to make sense out of any REASONABLE date and use it.
Brian
