asked on
"date" parameter in Batch Files (unix)
Hi.
In DOS, there is a paramether that you can use on your batch file that passes the date of the system (for example, "echo %date%").
Is there a similar parameter on Unix?
Thanks.

hi...
Let me explain what i'm trying to do...
I want to make a batch file that builds a tar file with the date on the name, for example "file10-02-09"
`date`returns me the complete date (tue feb 10 14:37:00 pst 2009)
Is there a way to do this?

#!/bin/bash
name=file`date '+%d-%m-%y'`
echo $name
name=file`date '+%d-%m-%y'`
echo $name
you could also use
name=file$(date '+%d-%m-%y')
name=file$(date '+%d-%m-%y')

This is the code of my batch file:
#!/bin/bash
name=file$(date'+%d-%m-%y'
tar -cvf /respaldo-mail-huevo/gabri
gzip /respaldo-mail-huevo/gabri
It creates the following file:
name.tar.gz
It should be
name10-02-09.tar.gz
What am i doing wrong?
