| Oct 17, 2022 at 8:37 | comment | added | Zoltan King | Thank you. I think the ss in [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] is different from what the date command's %S outputs because I get this error when I pipe the date ouput into touch: touch: invalid date format ‘20220901123513’. I'm wondering if touch uses the seconds since the epoch which is %s in date. That works. I'm just not sure what they mean in [.ss] | |
