How to make cronjob output to different files everyday
Hello,
I have a cronjob that i am currently running which is as follows:
php /home/****/cronjob.php --debug 2>&1 >> /home/cronjoboutput.txt
That, as you may know, logs the output to a file called cronjoboutput.txt in the home directory.
I want that cronjob to output to a different file everyday so if today is the 25th (25-10-2009) then it will output to "/home/ilog/25-10-2009.log". And if the date changes to the 26th then it starts logging to "/home/ilog/26-10-2009.log".
Can someone please write up a command that does this for me?
Thanks!
