Calculate Julian date of a given date
How to get Julian date (Three digit) of a given date (Not current date)? I do not have root privilege - so can not use date -d. Assume that we have three variables year, month and date.
Thx

I have a shell script which gets passed a parameter which is a combination of Year and Julian Date <YYYYj>. So April 11th, julian date is 101. So if I wanted April 11th for 2003 I would get the following value 2003101. How would I convert that in unix to be 20030411? I am using the korn shell. (3 Replies)
