Thanks for pointing out the trailing colon.
I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier, but I am
already using a
neat way to put the date on files through procmail.
So, here's what works:
D=`date '+%m%Y'`
:0 hwc:
* !^FROM_MAILER
| gzip -9 >> backup/headc_${D}.gz
You're welcome. And I'm glad that works for you. I
still maintain that it's wasteful, though, to call
date for every mail you get when the information is
valid for a month at a time. Consider having cron
update that information, too.
Regards,
dman
