Date script
- Thread starter navink123
- Start date
navink123,
The script I use is:
#!/bin/sh
# ydate: A Bourne shell script that
# prints yestarday's date
# Output Form: Month Day Year
# Set the current month day and year.
month=`date +%m`
day=`date +%d`
year=`date +%y`
# Add 0 to month. This is a
# trick to make month an unpadded integer.
month=`expr $month + 0`
# Subtract one from the current day.
day=`expr $day - 1`
# If the day is 0 then determine the last
# day of the previous month.
if [ $day -eq 0 ]; then
# Find the preivous month.
month=`expr $month - 1`
# If the month is 0 then it is Dec 31 of
# the previous year.
if [ $month -eq 0 ]; then
month=12
day=31
year=`expr $year - 1`
# If the month is not zero we need to find
# the last day of the month.
else
case $month in
1|3|5|7|8|10|12) day=31;;
4|6|9|11) day=30;;
2)
if [ `expr $year % 4` -eq 0 ]; then
if [ `expr $year % 400` -eq 0 ]; then
day=29
elif [ `expr $year % 100` -eq 0 ]; then
day=28
else
day=29
fi
else
day=28
fi
;;
esac
fi
fi
MNTH=$month
if [ $MNTH -lt 10 ]
then
month=0$month
fi
DAY=$day
if [ $DAY -lt 10 ]
then
day=0$day
fi
# Print the month day and year.
echo $month"/"$day"/"$year
exit 0
I believe I actually found this from a post at Tek-Tips, but I cannot remember who it was from. I made a few modifications to get the output to be the way I wanted it to be.
