Setdate The "setdate" is just a more user-friendly front end to changing the date and time: echo -n "Enter Date or leave blank for `date +%m/%d/%y`: "
read mydat
echo -n "Enter Time or leave blank for `date +%H:%M`: "
read mytime
if [ "$mydat" != "" ]
then
mmdd=`echo $mydat | sed 's////g;s/..$//'`
yr=`echo $mydat | sed 's////g;s/^....//'`
else
mmdd=`date +%m%d`
yr=`date +%y`
fi
if [ "$mytime" != "" ]
then
newtime=`echo $mytime | sed 's/://g'`
else
newtime=`date +%H%M`
fi
date "$mmdd$newtime$yr"
