Steven, others, I've added the following to /root/.profile
alias date='date +'%cEST'' and output is Thu Jun 06 13:33:14 2002EST I have all the reference materials I need, but don't know where to begin looking. I'd like to include a space between the year and time zone (2002 EST). Am I looking at a kind of variable? What is the %c called in the above alias? Am I looking for something similar to %c? Thanks, and best regards, John E.
