Need help with simple script (noob)
Hi
This is my first time attempting a bash script, or any kind of programming.
I'm trying to get a clear picture but it helps to work backwards.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could show me what this script would look like...
Write a script that displays todays date in MM/DD/YY format (2/20/07), in DD/MM/YY (20/Feb/07) format (European style), as a "long" format - Tuesday, February 20 2007 - and as a Unix time stamp (*nix keeps track of time as being the number of elapsed seconds since midnight January 1 1970).
Thanks

SIEVESHELL(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation SIEVESHELL(1) NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
