Code:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ls -rtla /path/to/somedir > /path/to/output.$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S)

You can use
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/ls -rtla /path/to/somedir > /path/to/output.$(date +%y%m%d)

if you only need the date.

UNREZWACK(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					      UNREZWACK(1)

NAME

     /usr/bin/UnRezWack -- Split a RezWack file into separate data and resource files.

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/bin/UnRezWack file -o outFileNameBase [-f]

DESCRIPTION

     The /usr/bin/UnRezWack command takes a file created by RezWack(1) as its input file (it does not read Standard In) and divides it into two
     files, one containing the data fork and one containing the resource data.	/usr/bin/UnRezWack takes the following flags and arguments:

     file     Path to the input file.  This must be a file created with RezWack(1).

     -o outFileNameBase
	      Base path of the output files.  UnRezWack will create two files at this base path, one with the extension ".data" and one with the
	      extension ".qtr".  The resource data will be written to the data fork of the resource data file; it is not possible to create a HFS
	      or Extended HFS resource fork file using UnRezWack.

	      If either file exists, /usr/bin/UnRezWack will exit with error 2 unless the -f flag is provided.

     -f       Force overwriting of output files.
