[SOLVED] help with shell script

[greenday1209]

so i need to write the result of the "date" command in an existing text file every 2 or so hours (its weird, its a school project).
the only way i know of doing this is by using ">", so i would put "date > file"
the problem is this replaces any previously written data in the file, i need to write it in a new line.. i know this has something to do with the append mode..

thanks in advance

Yes, to append stdout, use >>
Not that hard to google...

[tpl]

use the double ">>" notation to append
