whenis? As a real binary? No need.

"whenis"? How about:

          alias whenis='date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S'
or it's elk below? The other distros don't have one becuase they don't _need_ one. And if you don't like whenis , append:


    -d, --date=STRING

            display time described by STRING, not ‘now’


  -f, --file=DATEFILE

            like --date once for each line of DATEFILE

I know you're streatching a point here, but that's not a good one. Try again.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
