I want to print one log file with time and date

[rajesh73]

i want to print one log file with time and date vmstat > /home/raj/ file name with time and date .txt

[Pete Randall]

Is there anything wrong with the simple method of

date > /home/raj/ file

vmstat >> /home/raj/ file

[Pete Randall]

Or do you want the date stamp in the name of the file?

vmstat > /home/raj/file`date`

>Or do you want the date stamp in the name of the file?

And: vmstat > /home/raj/file$(date)

Hi:

And if you want to tag every line with a date stamp, you could do:

vmstat | while read LINE
do
    echo "$(date '+%m/%d/%Y') ${LINE}"
done 

 ...which written on a command line is:

vmstat|while read LINE; do echo "$(date '+%m/%d/%Y') ${LINE}"; done 

Regards!
