I need to have cron execute a shell script to download a file. the file is MMDDYY.zip I figured out that date +%m%d%y will get me the date in the right format, but what I can't figure out is how to put that into a command. I've tried multiple variations of date +%m%d%y | wget http://somehost.com$1 [broken pipe] var='date +%m%d%y' ;var1 wget http://somehost.com/$var [gets me http://somehost.com/date +%m%d%y] I'm just not getting it :/ -Aaron
