Hello I have used "date" according to supplied "info" documentations and figured out it doesn't work.
I wanted to set the date to year 2003 month 08 day 28 hour 21 minute 52 second 00 Quotation from "info date": "Setting the time: If given an argument that does not start with '+', `date' sets the system clock to the time and date specified by that argument (as described below) [...] The argument must consist entirely of digits, which have the following meaning: `MM' month `DD' day within mont `hh` hour `mm` minute `CC` first two digits of year (optional) `YY' last two digits of year (optional) `ss' second (optional) " [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date 08282152200300 date: invalid date `08282152200300' I think the program complains an error message on an input that is correct according to the specification. How can I please set the date to the described date? I can't figure it out from the documentation. I didn't find a set example in the info except for setting time 2 minutes ahead. man date says: "-s, --set=STRING set time described by STRING". I can't figure out what "described by STRING means". It isn't described anywhere else in 'man date'. date version: date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 Written by David MacKenzie. Copyright (C) 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
