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
