Operating Systems Solaris date command, loop/recursive Post 302678049 by orange47 on Friday 27th of July 2012 06:56:00 AM

unfortunately, that doesn't work in Solaris. not without GNU tools installed.
I got another problem now, how to do 'date arithmetic'? Is there any easy way to subtract one week from current day?

edit:
I found this http://unix-simple.blogspot.com/2009...h-in-unix.html
its not simple, but seems to work fine.
