Thanks - that was an oversight on my part. For the single-character-significance impaired (like I can be on occasion): date '+%Y%m%d %H%M%S' (note the '+' and quote chars) is a way to experiment from the command line, and %Y%m%d %H%M%S (note no '+' char) is the style that the XFCE4 clock applet requires. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
