Bonus points for timing it perfectly so:

    TZ=GMT date +"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%N"
gives

    12/12/12 12:12:12.121212121
(shame it's not an even number of digits on the nanoseconds value)


Not that close...

    $ date +"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S.%N"
    12/12/12 12:12:12.367166822


12/12/12 12:12:12.120721961 was the best I could do.


12/12/12 12:12:12.N

Hooray!
