Hello,

How to get the last day of a month using a korn shell command ?
So far I found the following :

echo `cal 12 2004` | awk '{print $NF}'


Do you have alternative ?
Your question is off-topic. If you want to know how to do it with perl, 
use the DateTime module. Otherwise, your question would be best asked 
somewhere else.

Regards,
Randy.

I know that my question is off-topic that's why my subject starts whith the [OT] flag.
I thought that a lot of people using Perl are also familiar with unix scripting and 
hoped
someone could help me.
Unfortunately I can not use a Perl solution, it's a requirement :-)

Any idea is welcome.

José.

I'm puzzled why you would ask this in a Perl group when there are shell
groups who would be expected to know the answers to shell questions...
and certainly wouldn't accuse you of being off-topic.  A 5-second
search gave me the newsgroup comp.unix.shell.  I highly recommend
Google for such discoveries, it is worth knowing how to use it.

So my idea is to ask in comp.unix.shell.

I think that one's pretty clever. How about the similar:

  set `cal 12 2004`  eval echo \${$#}

here's a simpler one that doesn't zap your parameters:

   : $(cal 12 2004)  echo $_
