The solution by fpmurphy is amazingly compact and on-point for ksh93. If you need more portability, you can use perl:
Producing (in year.month.day format):
Observations: most of the code is debugging (reverse the debug assignments to see some details); you need the perl module Date::Manip (installed as libdate-manip-perl in Debian GNU/Linux); the module is big and slow, but it does the job easily; the perldoc Date::Manip documentation is almost 3000 lines long.

I needed a cron job to run on the second to last friday of every month. Our servers are running HP-UX, and the HP-UX date command is pretty basic and does not have all of the fancy options that Linux date command does, and it does not have the ability at all to return future dates. So I had to... (0 Replies)

gmmktime
GMMKTIME(3) 1 GMMKTIME(3)gmmktime - Get Unix timestamp for a GMT dateSYNOPSIS
int gmmktime ([int $hour = gmdate("H")], [int $minute = gmdate("i")], [int $second = gmdate("s")], [int $month = gmdate("n")], [int
$day = gmdate("j")], [int $year = gmdate("Y")], [int $is_dst = -1])
DESCRIPTION
Identical to mktime(3) except the passed parameters represents a GMT date. gmmktime(3) internally uses mktime(3) so only times valid in
derived local time can be used.
Like mktime(3), arguments may be left out in order from right to left, with any omitted arguments being set to the current corresponding
GMT value.
PARAMETERS
o $hour
- The number of the hour relative to the start of the day determined by $month, $day and $year. Negative values reference the hour
before midnight of the day in question. Values greater than 23 reference the appropriate hour in the following day(s).
o $minute
- The number of the minute relative to the start of the $hour. Negative values reference the minute in the previous hour. Values
greater than 59 reference the appropriate minute in the following hour(s).
o $second
- The number of seconds relative to the start of the $minute. Negative values reference the second in the previous minute. Values
greater than 59 reference the appropriate second in the following minute(s).
o $month
- The number of the month relative to the end of the previous year. Values 1 to 12 reference the normal calendar months of the
year in question. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the months in the previous year in reverse order, so 0
is December, -1 is November, etc. Values greater than 12 reference the appropriate month in the following year(s).
o $day
- The number of the day relative to the end of the previous month. Values 1 to 28, 29, 30 or 31 (depending upon the month) refer-
ence the normal days in the relevant month. Values less than 1 (including negative values) reference the days in the previous
month, so 0 is the last day of the previous month, -1 is the day before that, etc. Values greater than the number of days in the
relevant month reference the appropriate day in the following month(s).
o $year
- The year
o $is_dst
- Parameters always represent a GMT date so $is_dst doesn't influence the result.
Note
This parameter has been removed in PHP 7.0.0.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a integer Unix timestamp.
