I‘m using the date +’%D_%T’ to store Unix system date and time in a shell variable called $_now:
_now=”$(date +’%D_%T’)”
echo $_nowOutputs:
01/20/12_16:10:42
I’d like to replace / and : with _. I’m aware of the following sed command:
sed ‘s/\//_/g
> s/:/_/g’ <<<"$_now"Outputs:
01_20_12_16_14_09
How do I specify two pattern within the same sed command to replace | and : with _ so that I can get output as 01_20_12_16_10_42?

I recently noticed that one of my UNIX servers was about 4 hours behind the correct time. I wanted to correct the date and time manually. How do I set date and/or time under UNIX operating systems using command line options?

The rndc stats commands created /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_stats.txt file under RHEL 5.x or CentOS 5.x BIND 9 server. However, date is not is correct format. The date is in the following format:
grep ‘Dump’ /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_stats.txt
outputs:
+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1263408025)
— Statistics Dump — (1263408025)
+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1263408071)
— Statistics Dump — (1263408071)
+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1268304218)
— Statistics Dump — (1268304218)
+++ Statistics Dump +++ (1268304248)
— Statistics Dump — (1268304248)
How do I convert date (e.g., 1263408025) in a human readable format?
