mailx in cron using variable date
I am using a popular HOSTUMP script that dumps successfully to a log file named
servername_a_`date +%m%d%y`.log
I then want to kick off a second cron job that will email me that log. I am assuming it has to be something like
00 07 * * 2 mailx -s 'SERVERNAME Tape A Weekly Backup Log'
whomever@somewhere.com <! `cat /vol4/admin/logs/servername
_a_`date +%m%d%y`.log`
I am pretty new to this (obviously) Can anyone provide a little guidance? Maybe it is just easier to do this in the script itself? Thanks!

Is there any simple script that I could incorporate in mine to do this job?

REPORTER-MAILX(1) LIBREPORT MANUAL REPORTER-MAILX(1)
NAME
reporter-mailx - Sends contents of a problem directory via email.
SYNOPSIS
reporter-mailx [-v] -d DIR [-c CONFFILE]
DESCRIPTION
The tool reads a problem directory, composes an email message from the directory contents, and uses mailx to send the message to specified
recipient.
Properties of email messages can be specified in a configuration file, and via environment variables.
Configuration file
Configuration file contains entries in a format "Option = Value".
The options are:
Subject
The subject of the email message.
EmailFrom
The sender of the email message.
EmailTo
The recipient of the email message.
SendBinaryData
Use yes/true/on/1 to attach all binary files from the problem directory to the email. This can cause the emails to be very large.
Integration with ABRT events

in /etc/libreport/events.d/mailx_event.conf:
EVENT=report_Mailx reporter-mailx
It can also be used to notify administrator automatically when a problem happens. When this is desired, modify the event configuration file
to run the tool on the post-create event:
EVENT=post-create reporter-mailx
OPTIONS
-d DIR
Path to problem directory.
-c CONFFILE
Path to configuration file. When used in ABRT event system, the file contains site-wide configuration. Users can change the values via
