title: In GNU Octave, get the date and time
body: <p>I want to get the date and time in GNU Octave and print it to screen.  What is the best way to do this?</p>
  <p>I've checked the Octave documentation, but I don't see a function to print out YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS with a one liner simple command.</p>
