use date command logFileName'date+&quot;%d%m%y&quot;'<wbr /><br />
this will name the file logFileName190601<br />
for more options on the date comment just do a man date

I am getting a script (in *unix) to output to file using the following:<br />
&nbsp;<br />
/usr/local/bpc/bids2login -l &lt;username&gt; -f /etc/bpc.login.pw 2&gt;&amp;1 &gt;&nbsp;&lt;log&gt; &amp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
where log is of course the specified name of the log file... Now here's the question.. say I want the log file name to be date stamped.. so the log file name would end up being, for example, bids2login02030.log.. &nbsp;how would I modify the above command line to do that? I tried reading the sh man but its in typical unix speak :)<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Thanks.
