Re^2: Getting UNIX time from the shell

[Andrew Cunningham]

Usinh HP-UX 6.5 on a 9000/360, using
	date '+%H:%M:%S'
prints the date, so use command substitution to get this into the
variable you want us
e:

	time=`date +%H:%M:%S`  (sh)
or
	set time = `date +%H:%M:%S`  (csh)

to get each component:
	hrs=`date +%H`
	min=`date +%M`
	sec=`date +%S`


Hope this helps!
