You may want to try something like this: #!/bin/bash tar czf /backups/code_backup-`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`.tar.gz /directory This would create a file called /backups/code_backup-2003-09-10.tar.gz if it were run today. Check the man page for date if you want another format. -- --------------------------------+----------------------------------- Byron Clark | http://www.byronandannie.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] | --------------------------------+----------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 0365 6979 6C3E BC0C 56C0 FB7F 12B3 75DD 042B EA68
