Thanks. Script works well.

When searched more, I found out that instead of using %d option of date, if we use %e it works well.

Please find below modified script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

YEAR=2015
for MONTH in $(seq -w 1 12)
do
        for DATE in $(seq -w 1 31)
        do
                dayofmonth=$(date -d"${YEAR}${MONTH}${DATE}" +%e 2>/dev/null)
		[ $? == 0 ] || continue
                dayofweek=$(date -d"${YEAR}${MONTH}${DATE}" +%w)
                weekofmonth=$((($dayofmonth-1)/7+1))

                if [ $dayofweek -ne 1 -o \( $weekofmonth -ne 2 -a $weekofmonth -ne 4 \) ]
                then
                        #printf "Not running today.\n"
                        continue
                else
                        MONDAY_DATE=`date -d"${YEAR}${MONTH}${DATE}" +%d.%m.%Y`
                        echo "$MONDAY_DATE"
                fi
        done
done

Output:

Code:

$ sh Monday_Date.sh
12.01.2015
26.01.2015
09.02.2015
23.02.2015

Try:-

Code:

((weekofmonth=1+($dayofmonth-1)/7))

Sorry about that,

Thanks Robin/RudiC and others for all your help.
