`date' issue

[gatetec]

In crontab, I have:

/u02/oracle/admin/gold/refresh_gold.ksh > /mgr/log/refresh_gold.`date` 2>&1

The log name resturns as:

refresh_gold.Fri Jan 18 15:14:03 EST 2008

whereas I wanted to have like:

refresh_gold.06Jul120900Wed
refresh_gold.06Jul140900Fri

Please advise.

thx

date "+%m%d%y
