NAME
pmdate - display an offset date
SYNOPSIS
pmdate [ offset ... ] format
DESCRIPTION
pmdate displays the current date and/or time, with an
optional offset.
An offset is specified with a leading sign (``+'' or
``-''), followed by an integer value, followed by one of
the following ``scale'' specifiers;
S seconds
M minutes
H hours
d days
m months
y years
The output format follows the same rules as for date(1)
and strftime(3).
For example, the following will display the date a week
ago as DDMMYYYY;
pmdate -7d %d%m%Y
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On
each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the
local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable
may be used to specify an alternative configuration file,
as described in pcp.conf(4).
