Title:
  -j argument passing not compatible with old code

Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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

  The bug is reported:
  https://github.com/matteocorti/check_ssl_cert/issues/553

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