Displaying the date
To return the current date to look like 6/23/06:
date '+%m/%d/%y'
Another example:
date '+DATE: %m/%d/%y%nTIME:%H:%M:%S'
would list the time and date as below:
DATE: 02/08/01 TIME:16:44:55
iso format
date '+%F' # 2019-04-11 # shorthand for # date '+%Y-%m-%d'
Setting the date
Example:
date -s "11/20/2003 12:48:00"
On older Unix systems, this command works to set the date:
date MMDDHHMM[[CC]YY], e.g. date 042716252006 (for 4:25pm, 4/27/2006)
