From the touch manpage.
-d, --date=STRING
parse STRING and use it instead of current time
~$ touch -d="now" file
touch: invalid date format ‘=now’
~$ touch -d="$(date)" file
touch: invalid date format ‘=Fri Jul 4 06:05:22 EDT 2014’
~$ touch -d="$(date -R)" file
touch: invalid date format ‘=Fri, 04 Jul 2014 06:05:30 -0400’
~$ touch -d="$(date -u)" file
touch: invalid date format ‘=Fri Jul 4 10:05:33 UTC 2014’
Is it possible that touch could get an update to support the common output
provided by the gnu version of `date`?
They'll mostly work if you remove the '='
Thanks Brady and Proulx.
You're absolutely correct. I obviously made the mistake. I never make that
mistake with the '=' so I don't know why I did now. I appreciate all your help. :)
