ok, let me explain it to you.

Lets say I have created a gc file in the format you suggested,
java ... -Xloggc:/path/gc-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).log
This will identify when the log file started getting created, no problems till this point, now I want to archive this log file on daily basis, now the point to be considered is I am not going to restart the application everyday, so the gc log file will keep on getting written to the same date log file, isn't? (I guess you will agree), there is a cron job running which will archive the file everyday, lets consider today's date, we restarted the application, so the name of the log file will be somewhat like gc20110930.log, I want to archive it today at 23:59 PM done, now for tomorrow as the application has not been restarted, the gc logs will be written on the same log file gc20110930.log, tomorrow a cronjob runs again at 23:59 PM and the cron job will find the file with same name, it will archive the file in the same archive directory and as the name of the file is same available at the archive directory, it will overwrite the file, isn't? so just making the change in the name of the log file will not work.

Hope this helps.

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)						    Bogofilter Reference Manual 						 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	   Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o   bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	   Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o   bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	   Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
