Why not try it and find out?

I'm assuming you're using Win, so open up a command-line interface and plug the line in.

I'm not using Windows. This is just a general question. I have to solve it for my OS class... And I have not the minimium idea of where to start researching about this...

 

[jpoveda]

I put that line on Windows and it says that it not recognizes sha256sum command nor sed command...

 

[jpoveda]

Anyone has an idea that can help me???

Ah, you are right. It is a Linux command.

Can you see why context is so important when you want to get help?

man date

I don't know but could try this like i did. All i know it led a trail back to linux and unix programming. worth a try. worse case it won't tell ya. someone will know though. i went to google and queried just
"date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'"?

had lots of hits. didn't make sense to me though. maybe something to look at.
the only programming ive done is at the machine level. i have not done assembly in 20yrs.

someone will know though.

Oh, I know the answer, but just blurting it out is no fun... I believe that people don't learn if someone else does their homework for them.

Thanks a lot Dngrsone. Now I can finish my research for my OS class.

 

[jpoveda]

I'm totally agree with you Dngrsone. You give the reference I needed and now it is up to me to find the answer. Thanks.
