The GNU date command is pretty smart. You can use most common date formats with the -s option. For example, date -s 'Mar 1 8:55am 1999' is the same as date -s '3/1/1999 8:55:00'. -- /-----------------------------------------------------------\ | Eric Gillespie, Jr. | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |----------------------------<*>----------------------------| | "Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and | | depriving him of his life there exists only a difference | | of degree." | | --Emperor Paul Muad'dib (Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah) | \-----------------------------------------------------------/
