I'm writing a backup script. I need to get the day of the week into a variable. How can I do it?
Well, it depends on what you're using. If you're using sh, see `man date`. If you're using perl, it's quite complicated.
In short, with sh, simply use the built-in date command: #!/bin/sh weekday=`date "+%A" See also man 3 strftime ----- Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
