Issue
I have two different script
1st one is
sar -u -s 11:00:00 -e 11:10:59 | grep Average: | awk '{printf($8)}'
2nd one will show the time which is 60 min old
date -d '60 minute ago' "+%H:%M:%S"
I want to use 2nd sctipt in 1st script (without creating any .sh file)
Below code is not working
sar -u -s `date -d '60 minute ago' "%H:%M:%S"` -e 11:10:59 | grep Average: | awk '{printf($8)}'
Solution
When I try this, your second command seems not to work, it should be:
date -d '60 minute ago' "+%H:%M:%S"
(Mind the "+" at the beginning of your format string)
When I use this, using $(...) instead of the accent graves, for readability, everything seems to be working fine:
echo $(date -d '60 minute ago' "+%H:%M:%S")
