I'm trying to find a way to get date and time separately. For date I can do:
date -u +%d/%m/%Y
What should I do to find the time in the following format?
hh/mm/ss
Thanks
btw is this for current time?

@GuzzyD - just as current as your date ;) the '-u' argument on both gives "Coordinated Universal Time"

@GuzzyD: Try `date -u -d "now UTC-8"` or `TZ=UTC-8 date` (I'm not sure why the signs are reversed).

A:
The date command can give you the time part as well. Check out the man page (or type man date on your command line) for more details.
date -u +%H:%M:%S
Or to meet your formatting requirement of HH/MM/SS:
date -u +%H/%M/%S
