Question How to get a filename modified by attaching modified timestamp
Hi,

I want to modify a filename in AIX by attaching the last modified timestamp. I want the timestamp completely in numerical format (eg:200905081210. yr-2009, mnth - 05, date -08, hr - 12, mins - 10).

For example if the filename is a.log and it was modified on April 6th 2008 at 21.00. I should get the filename changed to a.log200804062100. Please advise ..

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Ghostdog,

Yes you are correct, Sorry for not reading the question properly.
My post will simply give the current time stamp in numeric format.

Thanks
