Convert a date stored in a variable to epoch date
I am not able to pass date stored in a variable as an argument to date command. I get current date value for from_date and to_date

Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x
for s in server ; do
ssh -T $s <<-EOF
from_date="12-Jan-2015 12:02:09"
to_date="24-Jan-2015 13:02:09"
echo \$from_date
echo \$to_date
epoch_from_date="`date +%s -d \$from_date`"
epoch_to_date="`date +%s -d \$to_date`"
echo \$epoch_from_date
echo \$epoch_to_date
EOF
done

LedgerSMB::DBObject::Draft(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   LedgerSMB::DBObject::Draft(3pm)

NAME

       LedgerSMB::DBObject::Draft - LedgerSMB base class for managing "drafts."

SYNOPSIS

       This module contains the methods for managing unapproved, unbatched financial transactions.  This does not contain facities for creating
       such transactions, only searching for them, and posting them to the books.

METHODS

       search()
	   returns a list of results for the search criteria.  This list is also stored in $draft->{search_resuts}

	   Requres $self->{type} to be one of 'ar', 'ap', or 'gl'

	   Optional hash entries for search criteria are:

	   with_accno: Draft transaction against a specific account.  from_date:  Earliest date for match to_date: Latest date for match
	   amount_le: total less than or equal to amount_ge: total greater than or equal to

       approve()
	   Approves the draft identified by the transaction id in $draft->{id}.  Once approved, the draft shows up in financial reports.

       delete()
	   Deletes the draft associated with transaction id in $draft->{id}.

	   Naturally, only unapproved transactions can be deleted.  Once posted to the books, a draft may not be deleted.
