Hi.

I agree with shamrock, and there is a perl version of date right here: https://www.unix.com/tips-tutorials/2...te-script.html -- I call it date.pl on my system.

Here's a demo snippet:
Code:
pl " Standard date:"
/usr/bin/date

pl " Standard date with arithmetic correction of -15 hours (expect fail):"
/usr/bin/date --date="15 hours ago"

pl " Standard date with arithmetic correction of -15 hours (expect fail):"
/usr/xpg4/bin/date --date="15 hours ago"

pl " perl version of date:"
date.pl --date="-15 hours"

producing:
Code:
 Standard date:
Sun Apr 10 03:25:53 CDT 2016

-----
 Standard date with arithmetic correction of -15 hours (expect fail):
/usr/bin/date: illegal option -- date=15 hours ago
usage:  date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
        date [-u] [+format]
        date -a [-]sss[.fff]

-----
 Standard date with arithmetic correction of -15 hours (expect fail):
/usr/xpg4/bin/date: illegal option -- date=15 hours ago
usage:  date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
        date [-u] [+format]
        date -a [-]sss[.fff]

-----
 perl version of date:
2016-04-09 12:25:54

For a sysem like:
Code:
Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: SunOS, 5.11, i86pc
Distribution        : Oracle Solaris 11.3 X86
bash GNU bash 4.1.17
date - ( /usr/bin/date, 2016-04-10 )
date.pl - ( local: RepRev 1.4, ~/bin/date.pl, 2014-02-18 )

Bedst wishes ... cheers, drl
