The way /bin/sh processes command substitution and the way date processes --date varies considerably from operating system to operating system.
What operating system are you using?
You said your output filename is filenames.txt, but nothing in your script writes anything to a file with that name???

exiwhat
EXIWHAT(8) System Manager's Manual EXIWHAT(8)
NAME
exiwhat - Finding out what Exim processes are doing
SYNOPSIS
exiwhat
DESCRIPTION
On operating systems that can restart a system call after receiving a signal (most modern OS), an Exim process responds to the SIGUSR1 sig-
nal by writing a line describing what it is doing to the file exim-process.info in the Exim spool directory. The exiwhat script sends the
signal to all Exim processes it can find, having first emptied the file. It then waits for one second to allow the Exim processes to react
before displaying the results. In order to run exiwhat successfully you have to have sufficient privilege to send the signal to the Exim
processes, so it is normally run as root.
Unfortunately, the ps command which exiwhat uses to find Exim processes varies in different operating systems. Not only are different
options used, but the format of the output is different. For this reason, there are some system configuration options that configure
exactly how exiwhat works. If it doesn't seem to be working for you, check the following compile-time options:
EXIWHAT_PS_CMD
the command for running "ps"
EXIWHAT_PS_ARG
the argument for "ps"
EXIWHAT_EGREP_ARG
the argument for "egrep" to select from "ps" output
EXIWHAT_KILL_ARG
the argument for the "kill" command
An example of typical output from exiwhat is
164 daemon: -q1h, listening on port 25
10483 running queue: waiting for 0tAycK-0002ij-00 (10492)
10492 delivering 0tAycK-0002ij-00 to mail.ref.example [10.19.42.42]
(editor@ref.example)
10592 handling incoming call from [192.168.243.242]
10628 accepting a local non-SMTP message
The first number in the output line is the process number. The third line has been split here, in order to fit it on the page.
