Hi
If I try that command in ther terminal it works.
But if I use the same thing in a bash script it does not

#!/bin/bash
/bin/tar -zcpf /home/raghu/cron/touch `date +%m%y%d`.tar.gz /home/raghu/.gaim/logs/yahoo/raghavendra83

It creates a file with name touch and not a file with the filename of date

What should I do to solve this?
