Re: Output w/ date/time variables?

[Ron <ron () skullsecurity net>]

If it isn't a difficult change, I 100% agree that this would be useful. I pretty much always do "-oA 
2010-04-uniquename". It's pretty trivial doing something like this in Linux: 
nmap -oA `date +"%Y-%m-%d"`-uniquename

But it'd be really cool having that built in. It'd be neat to have other variables, too, like the target range/input 
filename (-iL xxx), the script run (if there's only one script), etc. That would all fit perfectly into the naming 
schemes I already use and save me some time (and stop me from accidentally overwriting my first scan when I run a scan 
against a different subnet :) ).
