Shell Programming and Scripting

Dear All,

Please apology to me if this question already posted, because I try to find it but not found.

I have make bash script to automatically download data from ftp and this running very well. and after the data downloaded it will automatically extract the data and keep in the specific date folder.

Now my problem is, I cannot make a log date and time file when the data was extract.

I mean when my script run to use command extract (tar), so how can I make a log date and time file (the log file of the extraction time) with the tar command? because I didn't see tar command have an option to make a log.

Your advice and help very appreciated.

Best Regards;
Boly
