exp help=y
AND USE SPECIFY ALL THE NECESSARY PARAMETERS ON COMMAND LINE (OR IN SHELL SCRIPT IN YOUR CASE).
eg
exp system/manager file=/u5/ora_dump/mydump.dmp compress=n

man date
(NB You will have to rename the export file once the export has completed if you want to name the file as a date string. You could also just look at the time stamp on the file.)

read up on shell scripting or PERL scripting, read up on UNIX commands, read up on ORACLE tools....
