You're probably talking about a different problem than I thought,
at least

% date -u +'%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S'
2008-02-18-10-00-34
blnsce005 [/advantage/sm/yd/sdf/sm/impl] demx0x65
% type date
date is hashed (/bin/date)
blnsce005 [/advantage/sm/yd/sdf/sm/impl] demx0x65
% uname -a
SunOS blnsce005 5.9 Generic_118558-33 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490

seems to be working for me on Solaris.

Ah, I've found it now: date +%s.
Michael says it's not possible to do that with Sun's data.
Openpkg for example comes with gdate, which understands the %s:

% gdate "+%s"
1203329509
blnsce005 [/advantage/sm/yd/sdf/sm/impl] demx0x65
% type gdate
gdate is hashed (/home/nightmar/openpkg-2.5/bin/gdate)

gdate is part of the GNU coreutils. You can find it at

Hope this helps,
