I noticed there are no examples of how to set date using date, in the manual.
Therefore I propose to add these to examples section to make it clear and easy
to do so. I used simple formats, more like 'machine formats' to make it
even simpler, as no one wants to use elaborate formats like 'Thu Mar 3
23:05:25 2005' only to make wrong. And one of the reasons for it is
American habit to make things complicated, to put month before day, and stuff
like that. That's what I propose: ---- Set new data and time: date
--set "2001-02-03 11:12:13" Set new date: date +%Y%m%d -s
"20010203" Set time: date +%T -s "11:12:13" Regards
