Date calculation

Fedon Kadifeli — Thu, 24 May 2001 05:03:42 GMT

Is there a simple command to calculate dates like "yesterday", "3 months ago", "next week", "100 days from now" etc. I know that there is a functionality like this in Linux:

date --date=yesterday
date --date=tomorrow

How about HP-UX?

Hi,
if you search this forum you will find some nice (as in complex ;) script that will fit your need.
Personnally I would go for a very small & simple C-program.
regards,
Thierry.

Here's a thread to a site that does a date calc and I've attached a slightly different date calculator you may be able to make some use of:
