First thing, I am not very sure if the above code serves your purpose.

sub means substitute. You should read man pages of awk. In the above code, awk tries to substitue the string "one" with "two" and then print the substituted text as well as the date o/p and some other text.

Print is very legal in unix. It basically prints what is instructed to print, it can either print on the console or a file.

xscreensaver-text

xscreensaver-text(1)                                            XScreenSaver manual                                           xscreensaver-text(1)

NAME

       xscreensaver-text - prints some text to stdout, for use by screen savers.

SYNOPSIS

       xscreensaver-text [--verbose] [--columns N] [--text STRING] [--file PATH] [--program CMD] [--url URL]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xscreensaver-text  script  prints  out  some text for use by various screensavers, according to the options set in the ~/.xscreensaver
       file.  This may dump the contents of a file, run a program, or load a URL.

OPTIONS

       xscreensaver-text accepts the following options:

       --columns N or --cols N
               Where to wrap lines; default 72 columns.

       --verbose or -v
               Print diagnostics to stderr.  Multiple -v switches increase the amount of output.

       Command line options may be used to override the settings in the ~/.xscreensaver file:

       --string STRING
               Print the given string.  It may contain % escape sequences as per strftime(2).

       --file PATH
               Print the contents of the given file.  If --cols is specified, re-wrap the lines; otherwise, print them as-is.

       --program CMD
               Run the given program and print its output.  If --cols is specified, re-wrap the output.

       --url HTTP-URL
               Download and print the contents of the HTTP document.  If it contains HTML, RSS, or Atom, it will be converted to plain-text.

               Note: this re-downloads the document every time it is run!  It might be considered abusive for you to point this at  a  web  server
               that you do not control!

ENVIRONMENT

       HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy
           to get the default HTTP proxy host and port.

BUGS

       The RSS and Atom output is always ISO-8859-1, regardless of locale.

       URLs should be cached, use "If-Modified-Since", and obey "Expires".
