[rt-users] Passing date variables as dates from the CLI

[Josh Narins]


1/1/2011 is unambiguous whether we are in Europe or America.

1/2/2011 is not.

xxxx-xx-xx is "always (everywhere I have ever seen., or hope to see)" yyyy-mm-dd.

But dd/mm/yyyy also works – $startdate works for example. Or if you type “1/1/2011” this will work, which doesn’t have the leading zero.

yyyy-mm-dd works, but you'll want(need?) leading zeroes for mm and dd.
