I think I didn't explain it quite well: I have some log files that are saved from logrotate hourly. But what i get is something like message.1 messages.2 etc Instead of this i would like to have something like mesagges_04\01\21_14\00 messages_04\01\21_13\00 So to follow the format messages_yy\mm\dd\_hour\minute Something like that, the idea is to have the time as the name of the file Genti ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexander Dalloz" <alexander.dalloz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 1:50 PM Subject: Re: get the timestamp as a log filename > Am Do, den 22.01.2004 schrieb Genti A.
