-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Based on the fact that you addressed the obsolete bug-sh-utils list, you probably need to upgrade. sh-utils was absorbed by coreutils, which is now at version 5.97.
According to Mixo Shiburi on 8/2/2006 6:23 AM: > The date command seems to have an issue with months ending on the 31st. > This is an example of the behaviour: This is documented in the manual, and has been a frequent question lately. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-07/msg00156.html quotes the manual, which suggests you should use the 15th of the current of the month when playing with fuzzy factors like "1 month ago". Jim, maybe it is time to update our FAQ - the current entry on "The date command is not working right" is very dated (pardon the pun), and could be refitted to describe this and other common date usage errors. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
