the GNU command date offers the -R option for compatibility to rfc-822. However, the output is in German language as "Mit" for Wednesday and "Mai" for "May". As far as I know, rfc-822 does not foresee other than english abbreviations (or did I miss any update of the standard?): http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/822/39.htm Accordingly, many programms crash when they are fed by the "date -R" output of the German version. Can you simply make an rfc-822 of the output in the German version, too? Or perhaps a swich "-e" to get english output?
Cheers.... frank
