I am trying to prepend log entries with a timestamp, but the generated timestamps do not seem to change over time:
#!/bin/sh
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
echo "$NOW Logging something"
sleep 2
echo "$NOW Logging something else"
Output for is:
2012-03-02 12:32:49 Logging something
2012-03-02 12:32:49 Logging something else
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?
