I do have a question... date -d "yesterday" and date -d "tomorrow" works, but what's the right way to generate a date 1 week ago, or an arbitrary date? (30 days ago, 45 days ago, 10 days from now, etc)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] date --version date (coreutils) 5.0 ...
I thought I had this all figured out until I ran across this one...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] date --date="today + 10 days" Sat Jul 5 14:41:46 EDT 2003
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~] date --date="today - 10 days" Sat Jul 5 14:42:11 EDT 2003
Can anybody explain why these two are the same? Just a bad pattern-match somewhere?
fwiw, removing the space between +/- and 10 seems to fix things, which is more in line with Jon's earlier example.
