This date format will have you cursing yourself if you shut down more
than once in the same day.

I think he will be cursing himself when he realises the logs tend to be
most useful after a system crash and using this method he will not have
any...


Will this following line avoid me cursing myself when multi reboot in a day?

*tar -zcf  "./`date +'%D-%H-%M.tgz'`" /var/log

*AS for backing up the log after a system crash, you are perfectly right. Now I am trying to find something I understand to replace this "dirty" script in my rc.local.shutdwon. Until I found the clean way, I will stick to it.
