I need assistance with following requirement, I am new to Unix.
I want to do the following task but stuck with file creation date(sysdate)
Following is the requirement

I need to create a script that will read the abc/xyz/klm folder and look for *.err files for that day’s date and then send an email.

Thanks in advance.
