I don't see why this wouldn't work.  I suppose it doesn't matter than you 
don't have a LOCKFILE as whatever the newest incoming mail is that 
matches this recipe will just CLOBBER the old (if present) file.  That's 
the way you want in right?

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

	:HBc
	* ^Subject:.*Air Quality Bulletin
	| /home/dill/isps/src/air/do_level >\
	  /home/dill/isps/src/air/Output/air.level$DATE

The ';' can do that.  And you may need to stick some '('/')' in there 
depending on what you want to do.

In the MAN (manual) pages; it comes with the TARred source for PROCMAIL.

Lates!
