Date artihmetic operations within unix shell scripts

[David Fu]

Hi,

I was wondering if the above is possible? I am looking at writihg shell scripts to get the date 2 weeks ago or x days ago or last day of the month and that sort of thing.

Has anyone implemented anything like this?

Many thanks!

Best Regards,
David
