cp 1233743158.log `date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.log

what else you want to do here..

Thanks
Sha
if using your command only can copy the file to current time not file's real time


1233743158.log is a file name

"1233743158" is a unix time format

it's require to a script "convertime.sh" to convert unix time format to real time format like 20090204183010 -- YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

if run the script convertime.sh like below

# ./convertime.sh -d 1233743158 +%Y%m%d%H%M%S
result printout

20090204182558 <--readable time for the file 1233743158
