printing 'date' in unix -
the command echo
date gives output : sun aug 20 08:14:50 2017. want date format in : aug 20. tried command : echo
date|awk '{print $2, $3}'
, outputs want: aug 20
is there other method?
if date
man page, you'll see it's quite capable of delivering want without passing output through textual filter - can use +
specify output format, such as:
pax> date +"%b %d" aug 20
