I've found this message in the bug-coreutils list. It turns out that date is parsing the + 1 as offset from UTC. This can be seen if I use different numbers in my date invocation:
Notice how the minute field stays at 01 rather than being incremented (decremented) by the value I specified.
Now, counter-intuitively, I can place the + 1 minute anywhere in the date definition, so
works as I wanted it to.
So, it is a (known) bug; it is not the bug I thought it was.
Time to mark as solved.

I know there are some posts on getting the time with milliseconds included and I realize unix may not be the best on this.

Should work in any shell, but requires GNU date, although GNU date seems only to be happy for input dates between 1902 and 2037, inclusive (49673 days).
Assume $a and $b hold two dates, e.g.
set a=2010-03-27
set b=2010-04-04
Marginally faster:

Dear all,
This should be simple but I cannot figure it out despite reading all the man pages. Could someone please help me translate this code (GNU date) to one that can be read by BSD date?:
myDate=$(date -d "$h -$l days" +%Y/%m/%d),
where h is a variable of the form DD/MM/YYYY, and l is... (3 Replies)
It's easy as pie to get the date minus one day on opensolaris:
date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d"run this command on our crappy Solaris 10 machines however (which I'm guessing doesn't have GNU date running on it) and you get:
date: illegal option -- d
date: illegal option -- 1

Dear all,
I have 2 questions.
I have a file with many rows which has date of the format YYYYMMDD.
1. I need to change the date to that weeks friday date(Ex: 20120716(monday) to 20120720). Satuday/Sunday has to be changed to next week friday date too.

Why is the result of this command off (or less) by one hour
date --date "1979-10-26 +54 hours" +%Y%m%d%H
The result is
1979102805
It actually should be
1979102806
It does it with adding minutes as well and only occurs on Oct. 26, from what I can tell. What's going on here? (9 Replies)

install::TempContent::Objects::mod_perl-2.0.9::docs::apiUserRContributed Perinstall::TempContent::Objects::mod_perl-2.0.9::docs::api::APR::Date(3)NAME
APR::Date - Perl API for APR date manipulating functions
Synopsis
use APR::Date ();
# parse HTTP-complient date string
$date_string = 'Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT';
$date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_http($date_string);
# parse RFC822-complient date string
$date_string = 'Sun, 6 Nov 94 8:49:37 GMT';
$date_parsed = APR::Date::parse_rfc($date_string);
Description
"APR::Socket" provides the Perl interface to APR date manipulating functions.
API
"APR::Date" provides the following functions and/or methods:
"parse_http"
Parse HTTP date strings
$date_parsed = parse_http($date_string);
arg1: $date_string ( string )
The date string can be in one of the following formats:
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
refer to RFC2616 for the details (GMT is assumed, regardless of the used timezone).
ret: $date_parsed ( number )
the number of microseconds since 1 Jan 1970 GMT, or 0 if out of range or if the date is invalid.
since: 2.0.00
Remember to divide the return value by 1_000_000 if you need it in seconds.
"parse_rfc"
Parse a string resembling an RFC 822 date. It's meant to be lenient in its parsing of dates. Hence, this will parse a wider range of
dates than "parse_http()".
$date_parsed = parse_rfc($date_string);
arg1: $date_string ( string )
The date string can be in one of the following formats:
Sun, 06 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sunday, 06-Nov-94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 850, obsoleted by RFC 1036
Sun Nov 6 08:49:37 1994 ; ANSI C's asctime() format
Sun, 6 Nov 1994 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822, updated by RFC 1123
Sun, 06 Nov 94 08:49:37 GMT ; RFC 822
