    I want to
    1.) get the current timestamp (including milliseconds !)
    2.) format it according to usual options and finally
    3.) create a filename from it

    All together it should be similar to:

    myts=getTimestamp(dd.MM.yyyy_HH:mm:ss:ms)
    myfilename=aaa_{$ts}.log

    How do I do this in unix shell script ?
