[wmii] formatting date in bar

Hello,

I'd like to adjust text in the bar, removing "uptime" and setting date & time
to be like so: 2006/02/20 Mon 0:36 PST

Looking in /usr/local/etc/wmii-2.5/status :

   fn statustext {
       # if you need a formatted date, use awk
       echo (`{date} `{uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'})
   }

and changing a line to:

   echo (`{date +%Y/%m/%d\ %a\ %k:%M\ %Z})

didn't work, still getting the default format: Mon Feb 20 00:37:07 PST 2006
...and I'm not sure exactly how to use awk here.

Also, the configuration notes mention that to customize wmibar, one should
copy CONFPREFIX/wmii/bar to ~/.wmii and edit the copy, but I can't seem to
find a the file "bar".

This is a newbie running wmii-2.5.2 on OS X 3.4.9.

Any suggestions much appreciated,

John
