Date Formatting, etc.

UNIX macOS
1

Hi -

I'm using GeekTool to customize my desktop in OS X 10.5.8

I'm a complete novice as far as UNIX commands, just know enough to be dangerous.

I have a command entered as a Shell to display my events from iCal:

This makes my events show something like this:

While this is awesome, I'd like to customize it. For one, I'd like the date to be formatted as this:

like I can do with this command:

and the time to be in 12 hour format

But I cannot seem to figure out how to make the iCal events date show correctly.

Help?!?!? :confused::confused:
