Hello,

You can try something like this at the top of your script.

PHP Code:


			
#!/bin/bash



# define the log location.

LOGFILE=/var/log/date_check_log



# execute date command when script is run.  This will continue to write the 

# date each time the script is run to the last line of the log file.

/bin/date >> $LOGFILE



# Then tail the log for the last line of the file when the script was run.



/bin/tail -n1 /var/log/date_check_log



# The above should print this output to stndout.  If you want to capture it in

# a file just define another log file and redirect output to it with >>.

Not sure it this helps.
