Shell Script

[Demon002]

HI all, I just wrote my very first shell script in Ksh. ^.^ go me! Anyway its a very simple script which basically does 1 thing

It creates a new file and names it `hostname`.`date`.blah.blah (you get the point)

then

it pushes information to this file >>`hostname`.`date`.blah.blah

The issue is date includes TIME information there for is the script runs between minuets. i get 1 half the info in 1 file and the other half in another

save your date into a variable, if not, the next time you run date, it will have a different value

Code: [Select]

val=$(date)
hostname=$(hostname)
echo "test" >> ${hostname}${val}
