I have a line from one of my shell scripts to load the current date and time into a variable:
$curdttm = 'echo $blank |date +%Y%m%d-%H%M'
I have used this on both AIX and HP-UX and it has worked great.
Doesn't do diddly on my Linux box but set the $curdttm variable to a
value of $'echo $blank |date +%Y%m%d-%H%M'.
I know someone out there will have another way to do this.
Thanks.
