Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Subtract days to a date in AIX 5.3 Post 302737255 by jgt on Wednesday 28th of November 2012 03:06:27 PM

Brilliant. But I did notice that you need to compensate for hours west of GMT,
offset must be an integer number of hours, and the expression may only have one operator (ie. "EST+5+$OFFSET" is invalid)
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# $1 is number of hours to shift date 
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
   date
   exit
fi
# EST is 5 hours west of GMT
OFFSET=`expr $1 + 5`   
if  [ $OFFSET -lt 0 ]   
then                   
        OFFSET=$OFFSET 
else                   
        OFFSET=+$OFFSET
fi                     
TZ="EST$OFFSET"        
date

NAME
arbitron - arbitron mailboxes SYNOPSIS
arbitron [ -C config-file ] [ -o ] [ -u ] [ -l ] [ -p months ] [ -d days | -D mmddyyyy[:mmddyyyy] ] mailbox... DESCRIPTION
Arbitron collects and reports readership statistics for mailboxes on the server. It also optionally prunes the mailboxes of Seen state for dormant users. Arbitron produces one line of output per mailbox, reporting the mailbox name followed by a space, followed by the number of readers (and if -u is specified, followed by a colon and a comma-separated list of the readers userids), and if -o is not specified, another space and the number of subscribers (and if -u is specified, followed by a colon and a comma-separated list of the subscribers userids). IMPORTANT: This format is subject to change in future versions. Each "reader" is a distinct authentication identity which has "s" rights to the mailbox and which has SELECTed the mailbox within either the past days days or the specified date range. Users are not counted as reading their own personal mailboxes. Personal mailboxes are not reported unless there is at least one reader other than the mailboxes owner. Arbitron reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. OPTIONS
-C config-file Read configuration options from config-file. -o "old way" -- do not report subscribers. -u Report userids in addition to the count(s). -l Enable long reporting (comma delimited table consisting of mbox, userid, r/s, start time, end time). -d days Count as a reader an authentication identity which has SELECTed the mailbox within days days. Default is 30. -D mmddyyyy[:mmddyyyy] Count as a reader an authentication identity which has SELECTed the mailbox within the given date range. The start date and optional end date are specified as 2-digit month of the year, 2-digit day of the month, and 4-digit year. If the end date is not specified, then the current system time is used as the end time. -p months Prune Seen state for users who have not SELECTed the mailbox within months months. Default is infinity. FILES
