[NTLUG:Discuss] Using current date in a script

[Minh Duong]

Does anybody know how to use the current date when
writing a shell script?  What I am trying to do is
capture some information and save it as a file with
the filename as the date.  For example:

cat file >> 20030205.txt

The problem is I don't know how I can pass the date in
that form as text without resorting to using something
like java.
