[Bug 2144410] [NEW] -j argument passing not compatible with old code

[AA1VS]

Public bug reported:

The nagios script check_ssl_cert uses the date command internally.
Instead of processing normally, date throws the error:

error: unexpected argument '-j' found

tip: to pass '-j' as a value, use '-- -j'

Usage: date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]...
date [OPTION]... [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]

The script is available at:
https://github.com/matteocorti/check_ssl_cert

This is offered as an examplar that the  commandlines are not
compatible.
