>Description:
I've never seen anything before that I thought should be included in the base system, but this is a pretty handy, small utility that I think fills a very common need: mktime(1). It performs simple arithmetic on the date similar to mktime(3), crucial for all kinds of scheduled tasks. It's public domain. It lives at <http://members.home.net/john.r.macmillan/technogeek/source/mktime/>.

 this can be done with date(1)'s -v option, you know?
