i have tried many variations on this, and all fail as follows:
rip.psg.com:/usr/home/randy> date -j +%y%m%d-%H%M%S -f '%b %d %T %Y' `ls -lT 2borg | awk '{print $6, $7, $8, $9}'`
date: illegal time format
usage: date [-jnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ...
[-f fmt date | [[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.ss]] [+format]
yes, this all seems in accord with what 'man strftime' shows me.
randy, feeling stoopid
