when you typed date it gives an output:
Fri Apr 12 10:07:59 MET DST 2002
how can i adjust this settings so it should read:
Fri Apr 12 10:07:59 GMT 2002
i've already search the forum but the answer was never completed.
by the way my UNIX is in solaris 7... 
thanks.
You can set an alias to give you something different like:
date +'%n %D %A %T%n'
But I do not believe attempting it to show GMT will give you the same time (I'm not even sure you can do that - I've never found a list of which letters do what with date...some are listed in the man page but the others I have found by trying)
The command "date -u" will switch to GMT.
For a more complete list of the format characters that you can use with the date command, type "man strftime".
