If you want to set the date to what is currently the time here at least, use this command:

Code:

date 020516242004.35

That is: 02 = February, 05 = The fifth day in Feb, 16 = the hour, 24 = the minute, 2004 = the year and .35 = the seconds.

Is that what you meant?

You can also reformat the actual date in a number of ways.... like this

Code:

DATE=`date +20%y.%m.%d`
Will give you 2004.02.06

TIME=`date +%H&#58;%M&#58;%S`
Will give you 09&#58;28&#58;33
