Help on mkdir

Mohd Mohtar — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 00:08:40 GMT

Hi,

I would like to know if i can do a mkdir via script eg as follows:

1) Do a mkdir with current time attached to it in directory A - /directoryA/test1300 (1300 is the time)

Tks

regards,

Mok

Is 1300 denoting hour and minute?

Then,

# mkdir /directoryA/test$(date +'%H%M')

If it is minute and second then,

# mkdir /directoryA/test$(date +'%M%S')

If you want to have hour minute and second then,

# mkdir /directoryA/test$(date +'%H%M%S')

hth.

You can go with format like __ as,

# mkdir /directoryA/test_`date +'%d%m%y_%X'`

Dear Mohd,

the -p option is required only when the parent directory is not present. ( In our case the directoryA).

Hello Mohd,

you asked;
1) Do a mkdir with current time attached to it in directory A - /directoryA/test1300 (1300 is the time)

then solution would be;
mkdir /directory/A/test`date +'%H%M'`

Good Luck,
