PMDATE(1) General Commands Manual PMDATE(1)
NAME
pmdate - display an offset date
SYNOPSIS
pmdate [offset ...] format
DESCRIPTION
pmdate displays the current date and/or time, with an optional
offset.
An offset is specified with a leading sign (``+'' or ``-''),
followed by an integer value, followed by one of the following
``scale'' specifiers;
S seconds
M minutes
H hours
d days
m months
y years
The output format follows the same rules as for date(1) and
strftime(3).
For example, the following will display the date a week ago as
DDMMYYYY;
pmdate -7d %d%m%Y
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each
installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values
for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to
specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
pcp.conf(5).
SEE ALSO
date(1), strftime(3), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5).
