There's probably no showdate command at all. This is internal function
defined in cg-Xlib. ;-)

GNU date:

  -r, --reference=FILE      display the last modification time of FILE

I think we don't really need -r anyway. Could you please try with the
'i' flag instead of 'I'? (The manpage is somewhat unclear on the
