bash json

Hi Folks,

Could you please help me out with this?

Code:CONFIG="config.json"

NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%:z")
jq '.sync_started = "$NOW"' "$CONFIG" | sponge "$CONFIG" || exit 3I dont know how to run the date command inside jq to modify the value.

this is my json:

Code:{
"mount_point": "/mnt/storage",
"mounted": false,
"rsync": "ongoing",
"sync_started": "$NOW",
"sync_ended": ""
}
