Date in linux
 

I'm using Redhat linux 3.0 Advance server, when use command "date". I can see the current date. Now I want to change system date and display the with format date "dd/mm"yyyy" . How can I do?

you want to use "date +%d/%m/%Y"
if you want to use that as default then set an alias for it.

How can I set a lias for date?

pls refer to "man date"

if your in bash, add to your ~/.bashrc
also "man date" or even "date --help" will give you enough info to get date to output date/time in a variety of ways.
