@Ulrich, thanks for highlighting the error. I have updated and tested the script on a Solaris 10 box. The script will now need access to the “printf” and “sed” binaries.

This script still contains the “-d” option and does not work with SUN Solaris. Runing the script as is, will produce

date: illegal option — d
usage: date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
date [-u] [+format]
date -a [-]sss[.fff]

Deleting the “-d” produces “bad conversion”.

What is to change to get the script working?
