Package: at Version: 3.1.10.2 Severity: wishlist At should be more flexible. Just use the date libraries instead of your own parser. $ at -v 'now + 5 years + 11 months' syntax error. Last token seen: + Garbled time $ date -d 'now + 5 years + 11 months' Fri Oct 17 03:53:15 CST 2014 However to get at to accept such a date, one needs: $ at -v $(date --rfc-3339=date -d 'now + 5 years + 11 months') Fri Oct 17 03:56:00 2014 warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
If at would use the same library as date -d, you could 1. parse lots more types of dates. 2. Eliminate maintenance of duplicate code. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
