Adding date and time to a log file

Morning all

Im hoping you can help me. We have a nice new oracle server Smilie and are needing to move some files around for EDI and BACS. The server runs windows but has an app called MKS toolkit installed which give unix commands. (Needed for the oracle stuff) I have had a go using dos commands in a batch file and also using things like touch but am not getting anywhere.
What im wanting it to copy files from the out folder into an edi folder and then move the files from the original out to an archive. Im wanting to log what is copied and moved. They want it to run every 10mins so I would like to create one log file per day and have the time in the file before the files are copied so we can look back and see what happend at what time.
My current attempt:
copy /V E:\oracle\uatcomn\admin\out\UAT_wendy\p??????.mf e:\edi\edi_out >> e:\edi\copy.log this works but just adds and adds.

This is probably very simple but its beating me Smilie

Thanks

Lee

lsmsad - Starts the Storage Administrator (SA) daemon SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lsmsad DESCRIPTION
The SA daemon, lsmsad, is a process required by lsmsa, the SA graphical user interface (GUI). The daemon issues commands and obtains system information on behalf of SA.

The SA daemon is automatically started at boot time. Under normal conditions, the daemon does not need to be run manually. If SA does not start during the boot process, enter: /sbin/init.d/lsmsa stop To restart SA, enter: /sbin/init.d/lsmsa start Only one SA daemon can be running on a system at a given time. If a second SA daemon attempts to start, it will fail. RESTRICTIONS
You must be root user to run lsmsad. FILES
The script that starts lsmsad at boot time. The command log file that tracks SA tasks. The access log file that tracks login to SA. The server log file that tracks server startup information and server errors. The log maintenance shell script that saves and compresses log files. SEE ALSO
