Question Assigne an expression to a variable

I hope this is not a duplicate thread, but i didn't find anything similar...

I had this script:
Code:
filename1=/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_M_
filename2=/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_D_
day='date +%m%d'
echo $filename1$day
echo $filename2$day

and i want this output:
Code:
/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_M_1015
/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_D_1015

(Path + timestamp)

But I have
Code:
/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_M_date +%m%
d
 
/swkgr/bin/risk/GF2KGR/arch/GF2KGR_D_date +%m%
d

(Path + instruction as string).

Where the error is? Smilie

NAME
ausyscall - a program that allows mapping syscall names and numbers SYNOPSIS
ausyscall [arch] name | number | --dump | --exact DESCRIPTION
ausyscall is a program that prints out the mapping from syscall name to number and reverse for the given arch. The arch can be anything returned by `uname -m`. If arch is not given, the program will take a guess based on the running image. You may give the syscall name or number and it will find the opposite. You can also dump the whole table with the --dump option. By default a syscall name lookup will be a substring match meaning that it will try to match all occurrences of the given name with syscalls. So giving a name of chown will match both fchown and chown as any other syscall with chown in its name. If this behavior is not desired, pass the --exact flag and it will do an exact string match. This program can be used to verify syscall numbers on a biarch platform for rule optimization. For example, suppose you had an auditctl rule: -a always, exit -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open If you wanted to verify that both 32 and 64 bit programs would be audited, run "ausyscall i386 open" and then "ausyscall x86_64 open". Look at the returned numbers. If they are different, you will have to write two auditctl rules to get complete coverage. -a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open -a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S open -F exit=-EPERM -k fail-open For more information about a specific syscall, use the man program and pass the number 2 as an argument to make sure that you get the syscall information rather than a shell script program or glibc function call of the same name. For example, if you wanted to learn about the open syscall, type: man 2 open. OPTIONS
--dump Print all syscalls for the given arch --exact Instead of doing a partial word match, match the given syscall name exactly. SEE ALSO
