2) I would like to redirect the output to a file called with the
catenation of 'uname -n'.'uname -r'.config.YYYYMMDDHHMM.txt where
YYYYMMDDHHMM is a timestamp of the command execution time. How do I
obtain such value ?
$ date +%Y%m%d%H%M
How do I create the required backticks on my laptop
keyboard (no separate numpad)
Umm, don't know your laptop works.
But.... There is a solution!! `foo` is now the non-approved
method, and $() is now what the bash folks want us to use.
$ ts=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
$ echo $ts
