Code: 
mytime=$(date +%Y%m%d_%k%M%S)
dname="suse"
networkDir="network"
outputname=$mytime"_"$dname"_"$networkDir.tar.gz
I sometimes got network.tar.gz from outputname.
Does my script have any problem?
Thanks for any help

I think you want %H instead of %k. %k can have a space in it before midday.

Also I would recommend this syntax:

Code: 
outputname="${mytime}_${dname}_${networkDir}.tar.gz"

Annihilannic.
