I've done many many google searches and have come back with nothing. What I am looking for is either a command in the terminal or a way in applescript to create a new folder with today's date.

I am going to use this as a skydrive backup technique. So if it was
Code: 
cp -av /Users/osx/SkyDrive /Users/osx/Desktop/New
I would want the new folder that is created with the cp command to be based on today's date.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
 
I am on my phone, but I'd go with cron in a form:
0 0 * * * *
To run at 00:00 daily. The command would involve mkdir and date. Someone else can surely cobble this for you, but a few minutes in manages should get you from here to there.
