hello I am trying to get a date in my log file name for a script that runs daily in cron and i can see in syslog that the sript runs but no date on the log file this is how it looks in crontab 43 12 * * 1-5 /bin sh rsync.sh >/home/eric/backup.log.`date "+%d%m%y"` should I put some commands in the script itself ? any idea how to do this Thanks Mario Fréchette
