Sysdate setting in .profile
malickhat,
There is an issue if you are wishing the sysdate variable to be dynamic.
The .profile will only be executed once when the user in question logs in so the value it will hold as you have already stated will be static or a constant.
The only way that you could force it to be dynamic would be to perform the execution of the .profile every time you wished to get your date time stamp.
This would potentially create a lot of overhead because in effect you would be resetting the environment every time you needed to get an updated date value.
The catch here is it appears that the goal is counter to what you are actually attempting to accomplish.
If you could please try to explain what it is you are attempting to accomplish once more. I understand that it may not be easy to do but it may provide what I am missing in order to try to help you find a solution that will meet the demands of your project.

aa-genprof
AA-GENPROF(8) AppArmor AA-GENPROF(8)
NAME
aa-genprof - profile generation utility for AppArmor
SYNOPSIS
aa-genprof <executable> [-d /path/to/profiles]
OPTIONS
-d --dir /path/to/profiles
Specifies where to look for the AppArmor security profile set.
Defaults to /etc/apparmor.d.
DESCRIPTION
When running aa-genprof, you must specify a program to profile. If the specified program is not a fully-qualified path, aa-genprof will
search $PATH in order to find the program.
If a profile does not exist for the program, aa-genprof will create one using aa-autodep(1).
Genprof will then:
- set the profile to complain mode
- write a mark to the system log
- instruct the user to start the application to
be profiled in another window and exercise its functionality
It then presents the user with two options, (S)can system log for entries to add to profile and (F)inish.
If the user selects (S)can or hits return, aa-genprof will parse the complain mode logs and iterate through generated violations using
aa-logprof(1).
After the user finishes selecting profile entries based on violations that were detected during the program execution, aa-genprof will
reload the updated profiles in complain mode and again prompt the user for (S)can and (D)one. This cycle can then be repeated as necessary
until all application functionality has been exercised without generating access violations.
When the user eventually hits (F)inish, aa-genprof will set the main profile, and any other profiles that were generated, into enforce mode
and exit.
