configuring xclock

Recently upgraded to Solaris 9, and trying to figure out how to
replace my OWclock, which I had set up to give me nice little box with
Zulu time, digital format, showing seconds.

Trying to figure out how to configure the x resources or the command
line to get xclock to show me what I need... specifically, a display
format other than the standard 'date' or 'date +%C' output.  I need
output that looks (ideally) like
'date "+ %y/%j%n%T"'

Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

You can't.  The man page clearly states your only options are "-analog"
and "-digital".  No resources are listed for further formatting.
You'll need another clock app to get the kind of control over the
format you want.  Don't know of one off the top of my head.

If you have another machine running an older Solaris, copy
the openwindow's clock program to your machine, it should work fine.
It should also be in the Solaris 8 CDs (or older)

It's undocumented, but if you're in any locale other than C it will
honor the CFTIME environment variable, so you can do something like
	env LC_ALL="en_US" CFTIME="%y/%j %T" xclock

(%n will just insert a space, not a line break - you can't get it
to go to multiple lines in the Solaris version.)

There should be a -d or -digital on the end of that of course.

Thanks, Alan, that answer works for me.  I put together a shell script,

#!/bin/sh
env TZ=Zulu LC_ALL="en_US" CFTIME="%y/%j %T" xclock -d -update 1 &

which gives me just what I need.  Thanks again!
