global date for many scripts in shell
Hi,
I am using shell (#!/bin/bash), i am trying to set my date in a script date.sh, i want this dates to be used by another scripts.

I have tried to make:
#!/bin/bash
begin_date =`date +%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S`,

i also tried:
#!/bin/bash
begin_date =20080709 12:14:11, then i write in other script the date as ($begin_date), but it always gives me begin_date : command not found!

I would like to write the date as numbers like date = 20080721 12:14:11 and then the other script should read it.
I think it should be simple, please can you help me how i can assign this date and time and how i should call it from my other scripts?

Thank you in advance.

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
