Hi, I am trying to make a script to manage log. I want to write the name of the .gz I moved and the date :
for i in `ls $replog/*.gz`
do
echo " $i "
`echo $i date +%d:%m:%Y`
`echo $datee `>> $replog/mrnet.log
mv $i /var/log/vieux-logs
done
I need to echo the date in /$replog/mrnet.log, but when I want to echo $i I have a error message : "Permision denied"
I tryed to echo everything once at once, and its really the $i the matter
I don't know what to do
That is a Useless Use of ls. Try this:-
for i in $replog/*.gz
do
echo "$i"
echo "$i $( date +%d:%m:%Y )" >> $replog/mrnet.log
mv "$i" /var/log/vieux-logs
done
you're true, the LS was useless, but I have the same problem 
Are you still having issues? Can you post the error message in code tags if any?
Also make sure that you have write permission on file: $replog/mrnet.log
I did chmod 700 on mrnet.log, I still have the issues. My Linux is in french, and I don't know how to trap the code tags I can take you a screen shot if you want
OMG!! I have no idea what that executable: /bin/mrnet is doing. I see there are several lines in it and it is throwing error @ lines 31, 35 @ 72 .
Your initial question was regarding how to log current date to some log file and the answer that I posted should work.
These errors seems to be totally different. So you have to DEBUG & figure them out.
Ok, I can send you the full code, the error you mentioned was function I din't need, I deleted it. I will send you a new screen shot with the error message. The comment are in french, and the echo that end with #trace is for debug

Here are few changes that you can apply:-
touch $replog/mrnet.log # Provide absolute path
echo "$i $( date +%d:%m:%Y )"
echo "$( date +%d:%m:%Y )" >> $replog/mrnet.log # Remove backticks
mv "$i" /var/log/vieux-logs/ # Remove backticks and wrap file name in double quotes
Apart from these changes, I do not see any syntax error which can cause this script to fail.
You're my hero, it worked. So the matter was the `` needed to replace by "" and no echo in. Thanks ! If you have some time, I asked a question on the MV command on the same section of the forum!
