It's main claim to fame seems to be that it can, in one line, determine if today is the last day of the month. I think this is just as easy: [ $(date -d "tomorrow" "+%d") -eq 1 ] |

Does every date command support that? I just tried it on an AIX 5.2 machine to no avail |

AIX is also known as Vale of Pain. Showoff, indeed! |

It's not working on my Commodore 128 either. |

> It's not working on my Commodore 128 either. Hmm, I wonder if it would work on OS-9? Well, I doubt I really want to pull my CoCo 3 out to find out, so I guess I'll never know. |

I must commend you all on your efforts to recycle old technology. I'm sure mother nature is pleased :D |

Hey ... AIX 5.2 ain't old, just painful. |

I can't even find the date command on my abacus. |

I'm with you TC :) |
