simple grep question
I need to get the present month and day and grep the syslog.log file to get the days events.
i have tried the following: #!/bin/sh date +"%b %d" > $dt grep $dt /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log sorry it is so basic but I'm just starting to use unix. thanks

Re: simple grep question
Quote:
The date format is incorrect, plus sign should be within the double quotes: -> date"+%b %d" If you want to fill a variable (dt) use the = sign. If you use > the shell thinks that you want to redirect it to a file represented by the variable $dt dt = `date"+%b %d"` The backqoutes around the complete date command are important. Code:
#!/bin/sh dt = `date "+%b %d"` grep $dt /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log Those 2 lines can be put together: Code:
#!/bin/sh grep `date "+%y%m%d"` /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
