Explanation of running this script

sendhilmani · #1 (**permalink**) 03-21-2006

I have a script that has defined a log file like this.

The name of the script is verify.sh
Inside the script there is some thing like this.
LOG=/usr/verify
TDATE=`date "+%m%d%y"$$`
LOGFILE=$LOG.$TDATE.

and inside the script it has been written as
echo "This is to verify" | tee -a $LOGFILE.

I understood that for every run this script will generate the mog file with the date appended to it. But I am not getting to know whether I have to create the file before running the script or the script will itself create the file. If I run the script as it is, it doesnt create the file.

Please put some light on how to run this script.

Thanks in advance.

Bumping up your posts is going against the rules. Your original thread - Creating a file inside a script
