John, This should do it: wget proto://server.address/access.log.`date +%Y-%m-%d`
I'm assuming the host where wget will be executed has the same date/time zone and are synced.

We have ftp access only... no ssh. Every day, at different times, the current access_log gets renamed to something like access.log.2007-04-06 Since this doesn't happen at predictable times, I can't wget access_log at 2 minutes till, so I need to grab access.log.2007-04-06 today, access.log.2007-04-07 tomorrow, and so on. How can I tell pass the changing date along to wget? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ ** * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list ===========End of original message text=========== Urivan A.
