It's easy to accept a date in a specified but non-standard format (date -j -f "EXISTING_DATE_FORMAT" "EXISTING_DATE" "OUTPUT_FORMAT"), and easy to adjust a date with the same command (date -j -v+1y "OUTPUT_FORMAT").



I have a date/time in a text string, that I need to convert (so date can understand it) and then adjust, before echoing it in a given format.



Unfortunately date -j -v+1y -f "EXISTING_DATE_FORMAT" "EXISTING_DATE" "OUTPUT_FORMAT" doesn't seem to be permitted, or at least isn't working for me. How can I get this effect?

  • Use a second date command inside $(command substitution) to convert from the existing format

  • Can you enter this as an answer (hopefully with a simple example to show the exact syntax)? Then I can mark it as correct.

  • Take the last example in the FreeBSD manual page for date as a further guide, and you can answer your own question. (-:

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
