When Carl replies, I tend to learn something new.
This usage requires GNU date, which all of our Linux systems seem to
have. Maybe some of the date routines that come with
{net,free,open}BSD will do the same.
For the full discussion of options, one must see "info coreutils
date". A small example is:
$ date -d "next thursday"
