Hi,

Pls can some one help.
Need a script which will read a command line $1 which is a date,

then based on the date in $1 calc next day or previous day etc and output the result in YYYYMMDD format.

e.g abc.sh 01/01/2008

output required is
01/01/2008 + 1day = 01/02/2008
or
01/01/2008 + 3days = 01/04/2008

is it possible using
mydate=date -d "$1" +%m%d%y
j="$mydate" -d "next day" +%m%d%y (this does not work)

Thks in adv..
