    With refence to the 'date' command mentioned in other posts (sorry I
    can't post direclty below them), I know what can sometimes be a
    problem:

    If you have some GNU utils, they have a 'date' command too. Make sure
    you are looking at the Solaris man page for date, and not the GNU one.
    Then try

    % which date

    and see that you are not finding a GNU one. I've done a similar
    mistake (with 'find', not date) before. The syntax can be different.
