This works okay for me using Debian. $ date -R -d 2008-10-19 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0600 However reversing months and days causes it to be invalid for me. $ date -R -d 2008-19-10 date: invalid date `2008-19-10' What happens if you reverse months and days? I suspect it will work. I suspect a locale issue. What locale are you using? You can determine your current locale information using the 'locale' command. locale What timezone are you in? You can have date print the timezone. $ date "+%Z %z" MST -0700 Try this to force a standard locale and timezone. TZ=UTC LC_ALL=C date -R -d 2008-10-19 Does it succeed for you?
