Hello all,

This is slightly off-topic, but I have been trying to figure this out for a
long time.

I was wondering if there is a way on NT to rename a file to include a
datestamp in the name. Basically I want a task to run nightly that will
stop Apache, rename the logfile to something like "access.log.20010108",
then restart Apache. I'm not sure if this can be done in a regular batch
file, but I'm fairly certain that it can be done in Perl or VBScript.

I've done some searching on the web for file renaming utilities, but
everything I find is for mass renaming of MP3's or something. Also,
everything is a GUI utility. I need something that can be run from a
command line by Task Scheduler.

If anyone has an idea of how this can be done or knows where I can find the
info on how this is done, please post it here. Thanks for your help!

Michael
