Look, this is a line of code. It's not going to show up on freshmeat.
If you're using Linux, and the GNU date app, you can do this:
% date -d tomorrow +%d
That gives you the "day of the month" part of the date, for tomorrow.
If it's "01", then today must be the last day of the month. Now, just
compare the output of the command to "01". How you do this depends on
what shell you use, hopefully it's a Bourne shell (/bin/sh, bash,
probably ksh, too):
if [ $(date -d tomorrow +%d) = "01" ]; then echo "It's the last day!"; fi
In a shell script, it'll probably look more like this:
if [ $(date -d tomorrow +%d) = "01" ]; then
echo "It's the last day!"
# do some other stuff here
fi
You should get a book on shell programming and learn. It's not tough.
