with:
date -d 1may '+%B %-d'- To print the date of the day before yesterday:
date --date='2 days ago'- To print the date of the day three months and one day hence:
date --date='3 months 1 day'- To print the day of year of Christmas in the current year:
date --date='25 Dec' +%j- To print the current full month name and the day of the month:
date '+%B %d'But this may not be what you want because for the first nine days of the month, the ‘%d’ expands to a zero-padded two-digit field, for example ‘date -d 1may '+%B %d'’ will print ‘May 01’.
- To print a date without the leading zero for one-digit days of the month, you can use the (GNU extension) ‘-’ flag to suppress the padding altogether:
date -d 1may '+%B %-d'- To print the current date and time in the format required by many non-GNU versions of date when setting the system clock:
date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S- To set the system clock forward by two minutes:
date --set='+2 minutes'
