-----------------
you can use also use remote copy
rcp -p server2:/test/test_yyymmdd.dat server1:/check/check1/
if you want to use the befits of date command, I recommend that you run the cron job at 23:59 to get the same date
or run abother cron job to get the date inside a file at any time during the day and run the copy cronjob at 2:00 AM and use the date from that file
