I would like to date time stamp ammendments to a file.
The problem is getting the time stamp into the variable DATE.
As the logfile shows, `date' is executed, and then ? goes looking for some sort of file etc.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

DATE=`date +%y%m%d%H%M`

: 0H:
*^FROM:.*857
|  echo "857 $DATE >> /home/857.txt

Logfile
procmail: Executing "date,+%y%m%d%H%M"
date: date: No such file or directory
procmail: Assigning "DATE="

Have you specified a PATH variable in your recipe somewhere, so that
procmail knows where the date cammand resides?  Or specify the whole
path in your DATE assignment.
