DATE for the output of "date" command

1. USERS for the output of "who | wc -l"
2. UP for the output of "date; uptime"
3. (Red Hat Linux)
4. Assuming you are talking about shell scripting or shell commands in Red Hat Linux:

   DATE=`date`;
   USERS=`who | wc -l`;
   UP=`date; uptime`;

   Note the ` used above is not the single quote, but the backtick (the key to the left of the "1" on standard keyboards).

   To confirm that it worked, you can use:

   echo $DATE;
   echo $USERS;
   echo $UP;
