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)

$ ts=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
$ echo $ts
