I just spent 30 minutes finding this information so I thought I would post it. If you need the date and time in a shell script with YYYYMMDD format and HHMM format here is the script commands:

TIME=$(date +%k%M)
DAY=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
Output:
1305
20080818

The man-page of date has all the specifiers listed.

It does, so you can use the man page and change the above script as you need.
