Hello Dave,

if you want to use a Linux or UNIX system I suggest you learn some  
(more) shell script programming.

`date` means the shell calls the "date" command and substitutes  
"`date`" with the output of this command. You don't have to define  
"date" but nou need to have a "date" command.

You have to use the correct quoting characters. (backquote / backtip /  
gravis accent)

In order to find the bug you can call the script manually. HylaFAX  
should show the exact command line in the logfile.
