Description:
DATE in job_list filename

I can get the full date into a filename in job_list with %DATE, producing this:
filename_20091123

But what I want is just the numeric day of the month portion of the date, like this:
filename_23

Is there a way to do that?

Resolution:
Adding a suffix of `date '+%d'` will give you just the day:

filename.`date '+%d'`

Here are some tests you can do to see the different suffixes:

Day:

>cp test test.`date '+%d'`

Note: you need to restart the job_daemon (util e/15) after updating job_list.
Month/day:

>cp test test.`date '+%m%d'`

Month/day/hour/minute:

>cp test test.`date '+%m%d.%H%M'`
