Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need suggestions about a datecheck script Post 302193482 by tsmurray on Friday 9th of May 2008 11:03:39 AM

Thanks for the quick reply Jim!!

What I was looking for is the First Thursday after the First Wednesday of every month. There must be a previous Wednesday in the month.


I'm trying to explain it this way because, for example, May 2008:

1st Thursday = Day 1
1st Wednesday = Day 7
1st Thursday after the first Wednesday = Day 8.

So a simple "First Thursday" is not the same thing as the "First Thursday after the First Wednesday".

I appreciate your all your help mate!

NAME
systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local during boot and shutdown SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator DESCRIPTION
systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether /etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script during late boot. Note that the script will be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept that does not translate to systemd. The script is run after network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system services. systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the halt-local.service unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown. Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for any scripts to run during the boot or shutdown processes. systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
