Re: Change names of .lis and .spf files at run time

[Lorene Hales <Lorene.Hales@ORST.EDU>]

We use a copy command as part of the script that produces the initial
report, adding a date notation to the created .lis:

                   cp  my_report.lis  my_report_`date +%m%d`.lis

So the original 'my_report.lis' becomes 'my_report_0826.lis' .
