Is there a way to have the date function return the time down to the

of a second as a string of [hour][min][sec][hundredths] eg: 17594588

Perl's Time::Hires module certainly does this. Date doesn't, but the c library function gettimeofday() gives you down to microseconds (in theory).

How about:

date +%H%M%S%N | cut -c1-8

When did the %N format for date appear?  Must be one of them newfangled
1980s inventions.
