ksh scripting ... get previous date
hi all,
i am developing a korn shell script. One of the requirement is to generate the date, which is 7 days before the current date, and create a folder with that date.
So for ex: if the time command returns 13 Feb 2009, I should be able to generate 6 Feb 2009, and assign that to a variable.
my OS is AIX
can someone post or help me with some working code.
All help is greatly appreciated. I am working under a very tight deadline.
thanks
