I am calling rsync from my perl script. When it runs it creates a dir
where I want the backups to go. I need this dir to be the current
date-time.
I can get the format I want like this.
my $date = `date +%m-%d-%Y_%H-%M-%S`;
Which gives me
01-22-2004_20-04-14
But rsync does not know how to handle this string, I think when its
passed to rsync its not text as I see it on the screen. It cant make
the dir and pukes.
I have seen a bunch of stuff out there for sprintf, etc but no clear
small little script to do this.
Thanks
