You probably know this already, but the 'next' ('second') relative term
is incorrectly in the date command in sh-utils 2.0. It was correct in
the versions prior to 2.0. In 2.0, 'next' gives the same results as
'this'. ('second' gives the same results as 'first'.)
#date
Mon Dec 27 17:17:10 EST 1999
#date -d "this tuesday"
Tue Dec 28 00:00:00 EST 1999
#date -d "next tuesday"
Tue Dec 28 00:00:00 EST 1999 (wrong)
#date -d "first tuesday"
Tue Dec 28 00:00:00 EST 1999
#date -d "second tuesday"
Tue Dec 28 00:00:01 EST 1999 (wrong)
#date -d "third tuesday"
Tue Jan 11 00:00:00 EST 2000
We needed to upgrade to 2.0 from 1.16 because 'date -d yesterday' was
incorrect.
