Hi Paul,

Maybe im mistaken but I still think there is a bug.

The command is:

date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

Where its MM is supposed to be the Month.. is this not correct?

When you scroll down, and look for what %M is.. is says..

%m = month (01..12)
%M = minute (00..59)

Which is not correct according to the command description.

Regards 
Lars

Sorry, I don't see any bug here. "date +%M" outputs the current number of minutes past the hour, and "date +%m" outputs the current month number, and that is what is documented.
