Here 051208 is the date and 025233 is the time.I have to run thousands of files daily.I want to put all the files depending on the date of running into a date directory.Suppose if we run files today they should put into 05Smilieec:08 directory. I would be verythankful if anybody suggest me the way to do it.

I did try for sometime,but not worked out for me
date_dir = `date +%d:%b:%y`

mkdir "${date_dir}"
In the starting of itself it scolding me like date_dir command not found

scrollkeeper-update

SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8)					      System Manager's Manual					    SCROLLKEEPER-UPDATE(8)

NAME

       scrollkeeper-update - identify new, modified, or removed OMF files and update the scrollkeeper databases

SYNOPSIS

       scrollkeeper-update [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -n ] [ -p database-directory ] [ -o omf-directories ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  synchronizes  the	scrollkeeper database with the OMF directory.  It searches the scrollkeeper OMF directory to identify if any files
       were added, removed, or modified and updates its internal database files to reflect any changes.

       This utility is generally executed as the last step of installation, after the OMF file is copied into place.  It  is  also  typically  the
       last  step  of uninstallation, after the OMF file is removed.  Using this, an administrator can easily manually install and uninstall docu-
       ments into the database.  It can also be run to guarantee the database is fully up-to-date.

       Note that because scrollkeeper-update is normally run during installation and its output is typically seen by users, non-critical  warnings
       and  errors  such as those caused by invalid metadata are written to the log file instead of to the terminal. Developers should use the log
       file to identify any problems.

OPTIONS

       -v     Be verbose: Say which scrollkeeper-install and scrollkeeper-uninstall commands are being run to bring the database up to date.

       -q     Run in quiet mode, suppressing output of all but the most serious warning and error messages to STDOUT.  Note that  most	output	to
	      the log file will be unchanged.

       -n     Use the network to retrieve the DTD if it is not available via the system's XML catalog.

       -p database-directory
	      Use  database-directory  as  the directory for the scrollkeeper database rather than the usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-
	      config --pkglocalstatedir.

       -o omf-directories
	      Examine the directories named in omf-directories rather than the one usual one obtained by running scrollkeeper-config --omfdir  (or
	      specified in the OMF_DIR environment variable if set).  The omf-directories should be a colon-separated list of directories.

ENVIRONMENT

       OMF_DIR
	      If  no  -o  option is specified, this variable overrides the scrollkeeper-config-provided OMF directory.	It should be a colon-sepa-
	      rated list of directories.

FILES

       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/scrollkeeper_docs
       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/TOC/<docnumber>
       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/<locale>/scrollkeeper_cl.xml
       /var/lib/scrollkeeper/<locale>/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml
       /var/log/scrollkeeper.log
