Bash String

Here's another crazy question:

I'm writing a script that deals with the creation of backup files.  It
seems like it would be wise to come up with a file name ahead of time
in the off chance that my generation criteria (the date and time)
changes while the script is running.

In short, the script is as follows:

Come up with file name.
Create the archive from $SRC.
If older files exist, compare the new file and the most recent files
using md5sum.
If the files don't differ, delete the new file.

This is the line that generates to the filename:

NEW_FILE="$($DEST/www_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d-\%H\%M).tar.bz2)"

I thought this just generated and assigned a string.  Why do I get the
following response?

-bash: /var/chroot/home/content/07/7224307/backups/www_20110331-2029.tar.bz2:
No such file or directory

Why doesn't bash does take it as a string of characters?

BTW, I think it's worth including the reason why I'm going to the method above.

The old script is as follows:

Seems to work right for me if I use:

NEW_FILE="$DEST/www_$(date +\%Y\%m\%d-\%H\%M).tar.bz2"

Re: Bash String

"different md5sums depending on whether or not the source is
piped" should be a big red flag.  Somebody somewhere is corrupting
your file.  The only exception I can think of is if you're transferring over
HTTP, files are sometime (de)compressed automatically,.

You should definitely verify that the file you write can be read back
and untarred.

qwest dsl router?

My DSL router died. Can somebody recommend a qwest-compatibility DSL 
router that I can flash with an open source firmware?

Thanks.

Re: qwest dsl router?

Anything that will do ADSL2 plus if memory serves me correctly.

http://wiki.sangoma.com/wanpipe-linux-adsl2-support

Or anything with the same specs as this.  I would talk with qwest and
ask for the newest CPE equipment list.

Re: qwest dsl router?

Just disable the firewall/routing/NAT/whatever on the DSL modem and use your own router from there. You
won't find many DSL modems that will take a different firmware.

Re: qwest dsl router?

My DSL modem is separate from my router.  You may want to consider doing
the same.  I use a WRT54GL router for maximum compatibility with Linux.
