Hi , I wanna have a shell script which puts the today's date into a shell variable and later use the Shell Variable for other reasons, I have been using like this.. #!/bin/sh TODAY=date '+%m/%d/%y' echo $TODAY Can any one tell me what could be wrong in this... Thanks, Nikhil. °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
