shell script to create folder daily with time-stamp and push time-stamp generated logs

Question

I have a cron job which runs every 30 minutes to generate log files with time-stamp like this:

test20130215100531.log, 
test20130215102031.log  

Answer 1

You should use logrotate! It can do this for you already, and you can just write to the same log file.

Check their man pages for info: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html
