I have set up a cron job and I want to save the output to a file. The filename should be based on the time the cron was executed (example: 20110317-113051.txt).
My real cron command is as follows:
lynx-dd> /Volumes/dev0/textfile.txtI want to replace
textfile by a unique time stamp.
I have tried
links - dump> $ (Date) .txt but I get an error that the command is unclearThank you for your help!

date
$ (date +% Y % M% d-% H% M% S) .txt can be given a format for determining how to create this date, / code>. With this format, the output of
date should be free from spaces, brackets, etc., which can confuse shell or
links command.
Look for documentation of document and format string for
date , which is similar to the
strftime function in the standard library.
