Apparently the way 'next month' works is by adding 31 days. A work around is to do this: date +"%m" --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) next month" So use this year and this month and the 15th of the month then add 31 days. -- Len Sorensen --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
