I earlier showed nsradmin using 'start time'.  That's incorrect.  I
meant to use 'last start'.  That can be fed directly into mminfo.

$ printf "show last start\nprint type:nsr group; name:default\n" | nsradmin -i -
                  last start: "Thu Apr 14 11:59:09 2005";
$ mminfo -av -q 'sscreate>Thu Apr 14 11:59:09 2005'
[...]

Doing that may or may not be easier than parsing the completion output
depending on how you're doing it, but either one is valid.

Admittedly, doing it via the nsradmin query there is a race condition.
You're relying on the group not having been restarted before doing the
nsradmin query.
