Date Format in UNIX
Hi Guys,

Need some help. I want to use the date command in Unix and having this below format as an output. the month should be in FIRST 3 LETTERS & ALL CAPS. And the DAY should be in two digits format

DESIRED OUTPUT:
Code:
09-JUN-11


I tried to use this command below but still it does NOT give the desired output.
Code:
root>date '+%e-%b-%y'
 9-Jun-11

Thanks in advance.

Br,
Pinpe
