thanks, i'll do that. i used [shell] basically for getting a random-seed (and filenames) via date, and it affects only a few patches, and should be easy to change to [command].
if you need to read the date, you probably should use zexy's [date] (resp [time]). it works on all platforms, and is *much* faster than a call to an external program.
if you want to generate a seed for your random number, you can use the new built in [file] to read some bytes from /dev/random (from your usage use [shell] together with date, i figure you already use a unix-like system). the randomness should be much better than just using some date-based thingy.
