How can I get UTC time in a bash script variable?
Hi I have a script that needs utc time and I am using
eDateTime=`date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
It isnt returning UTC time from what I can see.
Any tips?
Many thanks

The -u switch returns UTC time, and in the preceding case, this was done at 10:13 EDT today. The back ticks (`) are antiquated shell semantics and have been superceded with the $() expression.
