doesn't tail -f require a console...? Not sure if it can be relied upon without an interactive window...
Meanwhile, methyl's suggestion is entirely valid, but before giving up entirely on the multi-pronged effort...you might want to note the syntax errors on the alias suggestions given above and correct these to csh syntax:
Code:
% alias my_date="date +%d%m%Y_%H%M;"
% echo $my_date
my_date: Undefined variable
% set my_date="date +%d%m%Y_%H%M;"
% alias spc1 'echo $my_date '
% spc1
date +%d%m%Y_%H%M;
% set my_date `date +%d%m%Y_%H%M;`
set: Syntax error
% set my_date=`date +%d%m%Y_%H%M;`
% alias spc1 'echo $my_date '
% spc1

% touch /tmp/$my_date.log
% ls -lgo /tmp/2*.log
