Reading the date man page won't do one any good unless you follow the pointer to strftime. Thanks for the wakeup which was the result of looking at your example code. *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me. I subscribed to the list.

If that's what you want, use -j and specify a date in ccyymmddHHMM.SS format: [weerd@despair] $ date -j +%s 201212052355.13 1354748113 Note that this is TZ dependant...: [weerd@despair] $ date -r 1354748113 Wed Dec 5 23:55:13 CET 2012 Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd -- >[<++>-]<+++.>+++[<-->-]<.>+++[<+ +++>-]<.>++[<>-]<+.--.[-] http://www.weirdnet.nl/

Time conversion
I think I'm suffering from OldTimers Disease ;-) I often have cause to use "date -r " to show me what the date stamp is in human terms. It is usually in spamd or on some documents I get that are time stamped using the seconds since the epoc. Now I have a need to generate some timestamps of my own and, whilst I'm sure I've done it in the past, I cannot remember it now. Cluebat? Thanx, *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me.
