Those look to be single quotes and not backquotes. (backquote is
the upper left key on most keyboards)

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,

I do this in ksh, but it should work in sh too:
DATE=/bin/date
TODAY=`$DATE +%m-%d-%Y`

After a bit more work and lots of good suggestions, I came up with
xterm -e bash --rcfile .myrcfile -i -c ./ticktock exec bash
It does everything I was expecting (assuming your regular .bashrc
doesn't trash the things you set up in the first environment!)

If you have the option to modify it, ensure that your script exits via

It's possible to generate temporary files in a secure manner; there's
probably something in the ports collection to generate good, random
