See a possible Y2K bug in shutdown
Authored by: ctparker333 on Sep 02, '03 06:28:42PM
Someone may have already pointed this out, but this comand works as long as you do not specify a year. If you use time code 09030940, it is interpreted as 9:40, Sep 3, 2003. The default year (current year) is used when the user does not specify it.

"two formats: +number, or yymmddhhmm, where the year, month, and day may be defaulted to the current system values."

Of course, there is still a problem if you want to shutdown in a year other than the current year.

Good luck
