I'm trying to get %x the date, using the locale's date format
to show dates as DD/MM/YYYY, but I can only get MM/DD/YYYY. I've (attempted to) set my locale appropriately for en_AU, and also tried en_GB in case that made a difference. Running 6.0 generic. Is there something I'm missing or a way to make this so? I've tried tweaking LC_TIME and LC_ALL both. $ locale LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME=en_AU.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ date Tue Jan 17 16:18:31 AEDT 2017 $ date +%x 01/17/17 $ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39 Oct 5 11:55 /etc/localtime@ -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne $ All clues greatly appreciated. Thanks, tom
