### Date Format

Many of the `kadmin` commands take a duration or time as an argument. The date can appear in a wide variety of formats, such as:

         "15 minutes"
         "7 days"
         "1 month"
         "2 hours"
         "400000 seconds"
         "next year"
         "this Monday"
         "next Monday"
         yesterday
         tomorrow
         now
         "second Monday"
         fortnight
         "3/31/1992 10:00:07 PST"
         "January 23, 2007 10:05pm"
         "22:00 GMT"

Note that if the date specification contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes. Note also that you cannot use a number without a unit. (I.e., ""60 seconds"" is correct, but "60" is incorrect.) All keywords are case-insensitive. The following is a list of all of the allowable keywords.
