[conspire] [take #2] cute little web page of Linux/Unix commands

[Tony Godshall]

Thanks for posting this.

I didn't know the grep color extension or this particular date trick

Yes, the date -d gnu extensions are pretty cool

How about this?

When does the warranty on my new 1.5TB HD expire?
  date -d '+5 years'

First day of next month:
  date -d "+ 1 month" +%Y%m01


Best Regards.
