Question

I am able to move files from one folder to another but the issue is I want the new created file in the new folder as its created date and filename.

For instance

/scripts/a.log

moved to

/log/8june2012a.log

Answer 1

cp filename "`date +%Y%m%d`filename"

This copies filename as 20120608filename. For your example this is what you want:

cp filename "`date +%d%b%Y`filename"

This copies filename as 08jun2012filename. If you want move your file instead of copying use mv instead of cp:

mv filename "`date +%d%b%Y`filename"
