Linux .sh script to start server

[Habilis]

I wrote a little script 

that would start server on the background and would write console logs

to 

/home/hercuser/logs/ServerStartup<DAY-TIME>.dat

#!/bin/bash

# ARGUMENT CONSTANTS
START="start"
STOP="stop"
RESTART="restart"

#path to CD
PATHCD="/home/hercuser/Hercules"

# Path to the executable.
EXE="./athena-start"

# Date and representation logic
DATE="$(which date)"
TIMESTAMP=`$DATE '+%Y-%m-%d_%H_%M'`

# Path to the logfile that will hold log of the server up.
LOG="/home/hercuser/logs/ServerStartup$TIMESTAMP.dat"
cd $PATHCD
# Server logging
case "$1" in
"$START" | "$RESTART")
echo "$($EXE $1)" &> "$LOG" 2>&1 &
;;
"$STOP")
$($EXE $1)
;;
*)
;;
esac


here is the exemple of file

ServerStartup2016-06-25_10_48.dat

If stop command used, only then the file with the log is released. everything is logged...

Need to see about the memory now since that's a pretty big log file...
