You need to use the date command:
# ls -ltr > xyz.`date [options]`
Note that ` is the backtick which causes the shell to execute what
they contain as a command and pipe the output back.
I can't remember the options off the top of my head. Check the man
page for the date command. As I recall 'xyz.`date +%Y%m%d`' should,
today, give you 'xyz.20050329' but test it first.
