Hi Guys,
I have a cgi which automates the task of zipping up a complete
directory and its sub directories:
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo ""
echo "<html><head></head>"
echo "<body>"
echo "Building tar file...<br />"
echo "<tt>"
cd /var/www/html/
for type in test;
do
filen=${type//\//-}
echo "<br /><b>Building ${filen}.tgz</b> <br />"
tar cvfz files/${filen}.tgz --sparse ${type}
echo "<br />"
echo "See <a href='/files/${filen}.tgz'>/files/${filen}.tgz</a>. <br
/>"
done;
echo "</tt><br />"
echo "Done."
echo "</body></html>"
Now I want to add the current date to the name of the zipped up file
i.e. to the variable named 'filen' in the above script...
Is there any date function in shell scripting which can solve this
problem? Kindly suggest.
Regards
Kamal
