NICE DATES
==========
I frequently want to make timestamped files.
The 'date' command built in formats all contain spaces and
colons and things I don't want in a file name.
So it is necessary to construct something.
I find myself needing to do this again and again, hopefully I can
record this somewhere so I don't have to keep reconstructing it.
Date in a nice format:
Wanted: YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM
