So I have a script that generates a report about a folder date and time the report was created for each time the cron runs, a folder size and number of items in the folder, and the free disk space. So here is what is in my crontab:



0 12 * * * /home/jacob/report.sh >> /home/jacob/report.txt 2>&1


My report.sh looks like this



#!/bin/bash 
du -sh /Magna
df -h /Magna


I don't understand how to get the date and time the report was generated and when I display the size of the folder it doesn't tell me how many files are in it. In the text file I would like my output to look like:



Monday March 28 2009 11:50pm
10M 30
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 100G 92M 99G 1% /Magna


My script correctly outputs the size of the disk and free space. It partially puts out what I want as far as the size of the folder but does not tell me how many files are in the folder. For the date and time I'm completely lost on that one.
