Explanation of running this script
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.

service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
