Well depends on how/why you're doing it. If you're writing a script I guess you can call the date program and append the ouput to the file. I guess backup-programs are a common scenario. It can look something like this:
Code:
tar -czf backup_$(date +%y%m%d).tar.gz DIR/ECT/ORY/

Would create a file named:
Code:
backup_060403.tar.gz

You can invoke any 'command' the same way:
Code:
$(command)
