(Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I sent the original yesterday and
never saw it myself)
I have this rather ugly method of generating a directory name that is
a date (YYYYMM). Part of the ugliness comes from having to pipe the
output from date through awk to reduce the month by one because it
gets called from a cron job at midnight on the first of each month.
Does anybody have a cleaner method of doing this?
DirName=$HOME/Mail/Archives/$(echo -e "$(date +%Y%m)" \
| awk '{if ((($1-1)%100)==0) print $1-89; else \
print $1-1 }')
