How to configure clock in orage

kwatson512 · 05-18-2009, 05:04 PM

I want the clock to show some specific things (like "Mon 18 May2009 5:00 PM CDT"), but don't know the specific (%c %d %s) keys to plug in to the configuration. Is there a ready reference?

Xubuntu 9.04, Lenovo X61s, Intel Core Duo CPU L7700 @ 1.80GHz, 4GB RAM

Type in "man clock" at a terminal window. Reference the "format group" section.

Thanks for the tip, but there was no format section in the man clock page. Also, the codes I'm looking for weren't there. I also tried man time, and found codes there, but they apply to timing various operations (not the clock). Any other suggestions?

I found what I wanted here. I figured out to search for "linux clock format codes," which I gleaned from your reply to my original post. Thanks!

This site has a complete list of codes.
