Date

[copperslim]

Has anybody got a script when run will display date and time of the previous?

Backup emails me with the log file for the overnight backup which finishes any time part midnight, log file is stored at
/logs/tape_backup.$(date +%d%m%y).log[/blue]


It is then emailed to me as

Overnight backup for $hostname
Status : BACKUP SUCCESSFUL
Full output can be found in /logs/tape_backup.$(date +%d%m%y).log

How do I get the mail to change the Overnight to the date it run. Ie

020903 backup for $hostname
Status : BACKUP SUCCESSFUL
Full output can be found in /logs/tape_backup.$(date +%d%m%y).log

I want to change Overnight to the day backup run.

Add the following to your backup script before backup execution s:

RUNDATE=$(date +%d%m%y)

And while sending the e-mail do:

mail -s "$RUNDATE backup for $hostname" ....
