[WBEL-users] quick script help

[Vincent.Raffensberger at dtn.com]

You'd probably be better off adding it to logrotate, but this should work 
as a cronjob:
30 7 * * Mon-Fri                [ -f /var/log/mondo-archive.log ] && mv 
/root/backuplogs/mondo-archive.log.`date +%Y%m%d`
or this:
30 7 * * Mon-Fri                ( TODAYSDATE=`date +%Y%m%d`; [ -f 
/var/log/mondo-archive.log ] && mv 
/root/backuplogs/mondo-archive.log.$TODAYSDATE )

[WBEL-users] quick script help






Hi there,  i need some help with a quick script (im not very good with
perl, still learning)

i want to run a cron at certain time in the morning and that cron should:
1- check for file named /var/log/mondo-archive.log
2- if exists move the file to 
/root/backuplogs/mondo-archive.log.TODAYSDATE

how do i extract todays date(format MMDDYY), save it into a variable
and then append it to the filename

thanks,
--
