Another approach, that, so far as I know, David Tamkin was first to
post about circa seven or nine years ago, was to generate a file
daily, e.g., with cron. I did that for a number of years as well.
The file had in it, e.g.,
MYDATE = 02-Jun-2007
Now that is a good idea. I like that.
If we're going down that road ... why not have the
cron job update .procmailrc with MYDATE=...? Saves a file open. :)
Technical note, in passing: make sure that the cron job runs
"lockfile -ml" before updating the date file, and "lockfile -mu"
afterwards to avoid potential race conditions and inconsistencies.
