Folks,

fyi ...
I've discovered a problem with the "date +%s -d Date" command on
Linux xxxxxx 2.6.9-89.0.23.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 5 17:56:21 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
and
Linux yyyyyy 2.6.9-89.0.28.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Thu Jul 22 18:24:58 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

date +%s -d 20110313
1299992400
date +%s -d 20110314
1300075200
echo $(( 1300075200 - 1299992400 ))
82800

Regards,
Bob Arvizu
