Hi Dave,
Thanks for the clarification.
Also my RedHat box insists that I am in the eastern U.S. time zone when I am not. I cannot figure out the setup utility's time management part enough to get the right time zone, I do not see the option for central time in it actually.
Is there another part of the date command that can set this?
Thanks much.

Uppercase letters refer to the date and lowercase letters refer to the time.
Each number must be specified as two digits, i.e. leading zeros must be
supplied. The numbers must be specified in the following order: month, date,
hour, minute, century, year, second. A dot (period) must be inserted between
the year and the second.
For example: If it's March 4, 2002, at 05:06:07, you'd specify:
date 030405062002.07
The format looks rather complex, but that's because it's been designed so that
the lesser needed fields can be omitted without ambiguity.
