Extract TIME

Hey guys.

How would I go about extracting the time from the system clock and inserting it into a variable?

Any thoughts?

Look at the date command. The different formats will allow you to save that value in a variety of ways.

I think I got it,

ts=`date +%H%M`

Thanks again.

I was givin the task to, Glean the time only and write a small script that echo's before or after the time you specify.

Would this work:

ts=`date +%H%M`

echo ts

if ts > 0900
echo after
else
echo before
fi
