Yes, I realized both of these after I sent my lost message in this thread. I used more of the OP's original code than was needed to get the job done. Another way to do it (without subtraction) is:
Code:
m=(0 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan)
M=$(date +%m)
Y=$(date +%Y)
[ $M == 12 ] && Y=$((Y+1))
printf "01-%s-%d\n" ${m[$M]} $Y
