Want it to read the file name and then append date stamp at the end of file?

Shell Programming and Scripting

I was thinking something like

for i in `find . -name "*.log.Z"`; do mv $i name.log.Z

or something like that?

2 
for i in `find . -name "*.log.Z"`; 
do 
  mv $i $i`date +_%m_%d_%y_%H_%M`
done

this renames foo.log.Z -> foo.log.Z_06_16_2014_13_22, the current time/date

What about the date and time that's on the time stamp? How do you do that?

If you have gnu date (supports the --reference= option) you could do:

find . -name "*.log.Z" | while read fname
do
    mv "$fname" "$fname"$(date --reference="$fname" +_%m_%d_%y_%H_%M)
done
