Hi, MattyMoose gave me some great advice a while back when I was trying to automate a backup process, the result being the following command: find ./ -name "*.txt" -print ¦ tar czf archive/db_022006.tar.gz -T - && find ./ -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \; Well now I want to take it a bit further so that the tar will be created and named according to the current date. So, I got the current date using: But how can I put this into the backup command above? I tried: find ./ -name "*.txt" -print ¦ tar czf date '+archive/db_%d%m%Y.tar.gz' -T - && find ./ -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \; But unfortunately that didn't work. Anyone got a sokution they could share? Many thanks | ||

Using your first example there … find ./ -name "*.txt" -print ¦ tar czf archive/db_022006$(date '+%F_%H%I%S%P').tar.gz -T - && find ./ -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \; | ||

Cheers Coopster, I had tried a couple of bracket combinations, didn't know about the $ in front though - is there a good reference for this sort of thing somewhere? Coming from a Windows environment its quite a steep learning curve, that said I'm already finding you can do so much with just a single line command. Many thanks | ||

Hi there! Same idea as what coopster said, just I prefer to be able to reuse the date variable throughout my script, so I usually define something like this: #!/bin/tcsh date=`date '+%d%m%Y'` … do stuff … find ./ -name "*.txt" -print ¦ tar czf date '+archive/db_${date}.tar.gz' -T - && find ./ -name "*.txt" -exec rm {} \; Then that way you can re-use the date variable. I can't seem to find the bookmark I had that I used as reference for shell scripting, but give this a try, or search around a bit, find a format that you like. 🙂 http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch03.html Cheers, | ||
