I get the YYYYMMDD part, but what is "HHHHMISS"? Also, check the man page of date for help on formatting the output of the date command.

I had gone through man pages for date
If i fire the date command like,

date '+%c%y%m%d%H%M%S'

then i am getting output as

Mon Mar 06 20:28:34 2006060306202834

and if I fire the date command like

date '+%y%m%d%H%M%S'

then i am getting the output as

060306202928

but still i am not getting the date in format

"YYYYMMDDHHMISS"
