2) I would like to redirect the output to a file called with the catenation of 'uname -n'.'uname -r'.config.YYYYMMDDHHMM.txt where YYYYMMDDHHMM is a timestamp of the command execution time. How do I obtain such value ?
$ date +%Y%m%d%H%M
How do I create the required backticks on my laptop keyboard (no separate numpad)
Umm, don't know your laptop works.
But.... There is a solution!! `foo` is now the non-approved method, and $() is now what the bash folks want us to use.
$ ts=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M) $ echo $ts 200412211158
You're GREAT Ron. Thank you so much. Bob
