For future reference if someone reads this:
try cal
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
printf "%d %d" $(date "+%Y %m") | read year month
let month=$month-1
if [[ $month -eq 0 ]] ; then
   let year=$year-1
   let month=12
fi
cal $month $year | tr -s '\n' ' ' | awk '{print $NF}' | read day
printf "%d/%02d/%02d\n" $year $month $day
