1. install GNU date (the linux version) so you can use the --date option.
Also check the man page for your current version of date - it may be a GNU variant.
2. use C's strptime() function and strftime() function in a small C program
3. install the DATE module for perl, use str2time and format the date

Hello all:
I get it:
date -j -f "%d %b %Y %T" "12 Apr 2006 23:35:47" +"%F %H:%M:%S"(UNDER freeBSD)
In this way,you can format every date type you want!(Happy~)

For example, this command (under FreeBSD) will change the output of 'date' command:
date -j +%Y%m%d
20080818But for your kind of output, the commad should be:
date -j +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
