Good morning from Spain,first of all, thanks for your effort and for this rich
featured tools... awesome work!Secondly, to the "date" command
developers, it would be possible to develop the "-a" feature, like
other UNIXes distros do?Man from solaris 10:-a [-]sss.fff   Slowly
adjust the time  by  sss.fff  seconds (fff represents fractions
of a second). This adjustment can be positive or negative.  The
system's  clock  is  sped  up or slowed down until 
it  has driffted  by  the  number  of seconds 
specified.Man from hpux 11.23:-a [-]sss[.fff] Slowly adjust the time by
sss.fff seconds (fff represents fractions of a second).  This adjustment
can be positive or negative.  The system's clock will be sped up or
slowed down until it has drifted by the number of seconds specified.Really
useful feature to avoid crashes and dumps in apps like SAP or Oracle when
changing time is needed.Thanks for your time,sincerelyAlejandro Redondo.
