    Hey all, im in the middle of creating a shell script that:-

    - creates a file named according to the system date (using mkdir `date +%d_%m_%Y`
    - copies the contents of a particular directory into that file
    - copies the now fully laden file to a windows client

    Now, I can create all the files etc and access the share via smbclient, but
    when I do the following

    smb:>lcd /location/of/new/directory
    smb:>put `date +%d_%m_%Y` or even smb:>put `%d_%m_%Y`
    i get `date does not exist

    So I guess what Im asking is, can smbclient gain access to environment variables like date etc?If so, how do I specify it within the put command?

    Cheers,
    Bob

    date isn't an env variable, its a program. If you specify the full path to the date binary it will probably work, try 'which date' & then putting in the path returned.
