Script extract from log file
Hi i new to scripting and am trying to create a script to pull my current of logs from /var/logs/secure and name it securelog-Month-Day-Hour.txt
example:
Code:
grep 'Mar  5 11' /var/logs/secure > /home/(user)/Documents/Logs/mylog-02-1-11

How do i set the targeted strings to be the current month/day/hour, and the output to be named by the that month/day/hour?

any help would be greatly apreciated
