Thankyou, getting somehwere now, just the DATE3 variable which isn't working correctly, I have the below now from what I understood from your reply. I need the date to be written into where the variable lies in the script e.g. 120910

Code:
 
#!/bin/bash
#A backup script if the default data file has not been sent over
#
EXTEN=.txt
VALID=VSL0120
DATE1=$(date +%y%m%d)
DATE2=000000
DATE3='TZ=TZ+168 $date +%y%m%d'
DIR=/apps/live/aahvanroutedata
#
if [ ! -e $DIR/VSL01_D* ]
#
then
        touch /export/home/tjmoore/default_data_backup_email < cat "We have not
        received todays default data file from Alliance, the default data file h
        as been used from the previous weeks same day"    
#
        cp $DIR/$VALID$DATE3$DATE2$EXTEN $DIR/$VALID$DATE1$DATE2$EXTEN 1 >>
        /export/home/tjmoore/default_data_backup_email
#
        /usr/local/bds/mailsend.s mailx "Backup Default Data File has been used"
        <email address> <email address> /export/home/tjmoore/de
        fault_data_backup_email > 2&1>/dev/null
#

gdome-config

GDOME2(1)							       0.8.1								 GDOME2(1)

NAME

       gdome-config - script to get information about the installed version of gdome2

SYNOPSIS

       gdome-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       gdome-config  is  a  tool  that is used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       gdome2.

OPTIONS

       gdome-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of gdome2 on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a gdome2 program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a gdome2 program.

       --prefix=DIR
	       If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that gdome2 was built with when computing the output for the --cflags  and
	       --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=DIR
