date issue-find prevoius date in a patricular format
Hi ,
I have written a shell script that takes the current date on the server and stores it in a file. echo get /usr/home/data-`date '+%Y%d'`.xml> /usr/local/sandeep/GetFILE.ini I call this GetFILE.ini file from an sftp program to fetch a file from /usr/home/ as location. The file is in this format data-20071115.xml I have been succesfull in doing this. This runs froms tuesday to friday. But on Monday i need to fetch Saturday and Sunday file and i don't know how it can be accomplished in this. Can anyone help Thanks, Sandeep |

The datecalc script in Perderabo's thread on Date Arithmetic - in the FAQ section
will subtract 1, 2, 3... n days from a date and return a date. So you could get today - 2 = 20071113 |
