Hello!
The behaviour of date(1) is probably specified by POSIX, but I think,
date -v-1m should at least return a date a month _before_ the current
month.
Example:
Mi 1 Dez 1999 15:06:47 CET
(Dez. has 31, so it should be Nov 30, I think).
More confusing is something like:
alex:~ $ date -v-1m +%Y-%m
1999-12
what I wanted to use to create backup folders for my mail-system (all
mails of the last month are moved to a folder of the last month).
That's weird, somehow.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Is this POSIX-compilant?
Do we want an additional option? (I want :-))
Alex

I doubt, therefore I might be.
