I think I found the right command:

Code:

date +%X | sed 's@\(..\):\(..\):\(..\)@\1:\2@'

but now I have the problem to include the third part of hyphens in the big awk command. I searched the net an tried a lot of versions but where not able to solve it.

I need to replace

Code:

date +%H:%M

with

Code:

date +%X | sed 's@\(..\):\(..\):\(..\)@\1:\2@'

in this awk statment:

Code:

&> /var/log/messages && 2>/dev/null tail -f /var/log/messages | \
	        awk '/.*PageAction*./ || /.*acxmgrd*./ || /.*NextPage*./ || /.*Reader*./ {system("eips ${POS} ${ROW} \"`date +%H:%M` `gasgauge-info -s`\"")}'

Ideas welcome ...
