Thanks. I am actually writing the script on my side. And as I have one
production server and one staging one, I am actually struggling with
variables and concatenation...
Why is this not working? I get dir_ape_log : not found when launching the
script on the first line
dir_ape_log = "/ape_staging/log/"
filename_ape_log= "${dir_ape_log}/ape_staging.log"
cp $filename_ape_log "$dir_ape_log`date +%Y_%m_%d__%H_%M_%s`__ape_log.txt"
echo "" > $filename_ape_log
