I run some cron jobs on my Pi. I want to find a way to export all from a command to a file ie:
logwatch --yesterday --medium --archive > 'name_of_my_file'
where 'name_of_my_file' will be as a format EU dd-mm-yyy hh:mm
if you could share as well any ideas how to upload those files to external ftp server it will be great!
You can easily get a date in any format, although I would use an ISO8601 format, which has the advantage of being unambiguous and sortable e.g.
date "+%Y%m%dT%H%M%S"
gives
20131116T122633
You can use this in a script to construct your file name, using any other characters to construct the name.
echo Test > File`date "+%Y%m%dT%H%M%S"`.txt
