dynamic date value in shell scripts using a variable – easier to read in scripts: NOW=$(date +”%Y%m%d%H%M%S”) echo “bar” > “$NOW”foobar.txt
one-line, equivalent to above: echo “bar” > $(date +”%Y%m%d%H%M%S”)foobar.txt
alternate single-line format: echo “bar” >> $(date “+myfile%Y%m%d.txt”)
man strftime to see formatting values
