The man pages for at and date state:=20

	 The canonical representation for setting the date and time is:
	 [...]
	 ss      The second of the minute, from 00 to 61
=09
Why	is the 61st second required? As far as I unterstood, only a=20
60th second is required for an additional leap second.

Der Geist des Kriegers sollte mit Beginn des Neujahrstages bis zum Ende=20
