I will be launching today a zip command naming the new file with the current date (date+%Y-%m-%d.zip).
The compression will probably end after midnight.
Do you think the zip will be named with today's date or tomorrow's?
Command is:
zip -9 -m -o /path/file_name`date +%Y%m%d`.zip /path/tmp/*
date zip

It will have todays date. The date command is run when the command is issued.
Actually, the nested command $(date ...) will be executed by the shell before the zip command is called. This is called command substitution, the nested command will be replaced by its output.
