Newbie problem with simple script to create a directory
script is:
dirname= "$(date +%b%d)_$(date +%H%M)"
mkdir $dirname
should create a directory named Nov4_
Instead I get the following returned:
root@dchs-pint-001:/=>./test1
./test1: Nov04_0736: not found.
Usage: mkdir [-p] [-m mode] Directory ...
root@dchs-pint-001:/=>
TOO easy, but what am I doing wrong?
Thx,
