Email backup log
Hi,
I have a server which appends to two different backup logs, a summary and a full log,
I want to write a script which will email out this mornings backup,
the problem is that in the log files the date is in the below format:

Code:
Fri May 31,2013 02:30

the summary log file I can just use Head to get the data, but in the full log because the log is a different length each day is proving difficult,
In the full summary each days log is delimited by

Code:
****************************************************************

I was trying to grep the full summary for the date and then using AWK print 500 lines below it, which works just not in the script,

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
DATE= `date | awk '{print $3, $2, $4}' | sed 's/\(.*\) /\1,/'`
cat /cfmtools/backups/logs/full | awk 'c-->0;/$DATE/{c=500; print}'

If i run it is get:

Code:
-bash-3.00$ ./backup_mail_V2
./backup_mail_V2: line 2: May: command not found

Can anyone help?
