sam get date

Just having some fun...
Command Description:

The 'sam getdate' utility is useful within other scripts
when you need to pass date information on the command line.

It allows you to do things like
   runMyProgram --start-date=`sam getdate YESTERDAY` --end-date=`sam getdate TOMORROW`

The "magic words" you may use are:
   TODAY         - midnight on this day
   YESTERDAY     - midnight of TODAY-1d
   TOMORROW      - midnight of TODAY+1d
   NOW           - right now
   START_OF_TIME - start of time

You may also use combinations such as

   sam getdate "TODAY+3d"     # 3 days from now
   sam getdate "TODAY-1m"     # 1 month ago
   sam getdate "TOMORROW+1y"  # 1 year from tomorrow


Usage:
       sam get date [--options] [-flags] <arg1>
       sam getdate [--options] [-flags] <arg1>

Where:


  --options:
	    --corbaCallTimeout=<value> # time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
	              --format=<value> # format to use for output printing; default = %d-%b-%Y
	       --retryInterval=<value> # retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
	         --retryJitter=<value> # retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
	       --retryMaxCount=<value> # number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)

   -flags:
	                            -c # automatically close all servants after each method call
	                            -d # debug mode
	                            -s # retrySilently mode (do not issue messages to stderr on proxy retries)
	                            -t # time-it mode (print additional info on timings)
	                            -v # verbose mode

  Args:
	                        <arg1> # TODAY, YESTERDAY, etc., describes the date of interest

	                        format : string 
	                 retryInterval : int 
	                   retryJitter : int 
	                 retryMaxCount : int
