Every time I have to set the date on a Linux box[0] I have to read the documentation for 'date', because I can never remember what format to specify. earle@batou:~$ date --help | grep MM or: date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]] So that's month, day, hour, minute, and *then* [optional] century, year, and *then* seconds? What kind of crackhead came up with this? Would it have been too hard to have it understand ISO 8601? FFS. [0] Before getting it set up to get the time over the network. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/
