Dear Rodolfo Thank you
But why two commands take different results and last one doesn't apply it? first one: work, start from Jan 24 Jan 24 07:09:24 syslogd 1.4-0: restart. Jan 24 07:09:24 syslog: syslogd startup succeeded Jan 24 07:09:24 syslog: klogd startup succeeded Second: doesn't work, start from Jan 20 [root@ log]# grep `date +"%b %e"` /var/log/messages | less|more grep: 24: No such file or directory /var/log/messages:Jan 20 08:45:32 syslogd 1.4-0: restart. /var/log/messages:Jan 20 08:45:32 syslogd 1.4-0: restart. /var/log/messages:Jan 20 08:45:32 syslogd 1.4-0: restart. --- "Rodolfo J.
