Change of System Date format
I have this T5220 server with Solaris 10 installed on to it. Now when I fire the command "date" the o/p I get is as follows :
Code:
 
bash-3.00# date
Tuesday, February  9, 2010  7:25:24 PM IST

whereas I want the date to appear in this format:
Code:
bash-3.00# date
Tue Feb  9 19:26:06 IST 2010

Can anyone suggest me changes to accomplish the same.

this is my system's enviorn and locale settings :
Code:
 
root@bgw # env

lint

lint(1B)                                             SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands                                             lint(1B)

NAME

       lint - C program verifier

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/lint [options]

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/ucb/lint  is  the  interface  to  the  BSD  Compatibility  Package  C  program  verifier.   It  is  a  script  that looks for the link
       /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint to the C program verifier. /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default  location  is
       /opt/SUNWspro.  /usr/ucb/lint  is  identical to /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, except that BSD headers are used and BSD  libraries are linked before
       base libraries.  The /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/lint.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package.

OPTIONS

       /usr/ucb/lint accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, with the following exceptions:

       -Idir           Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior  to  searching  the  usual  directories.  The
                       directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files
                       in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then  /usr/ucbinclude,  and
                       finally, in /usr/include.

       -Ldir           Add  dir  to  the  list  of  directories  searched  for  libraries  by  /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint.  This  option  is  passed  to
                       /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.

       -Y P, dir       Change the default directory used for finding libraries.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0               Successful completion.

       >0              An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lint/bin/ld        link editor

       /usr/lib/libc           C library

       /usr/ucbinclude         BSD Compatibility directory for header files

       /usr/ucblib             BSD Compatibility directory for libraries

       /usr/ucblib/libucb      BSD Compatibility C library

       /usr/lib/libsocket      library containing socket routines

       /usr/lib/libnsl         library containing network functions

       /usr/lib/libelf         library containing routines to process ELF object files

       /usr/lib/libaio         library containing asynchronous I/O routines
