Hi Rudic...Thanks for your help. I am using below code to get the number of days.
Code:
today_date=$(date +%d/%m/%Y) mm=$5 dd=$(date -d"$mm" +%d/%m/%Y) echo [[ $(( ($today_date - $dd) / (60 * 60 * 24) ))]]

. So I am getting below error " value too great for base (error token is "08")" I am having Todays Date: 16/10/2017 and Date From : 11/08/2017. I tried with adding 10# to the both the dates but still getting same error. Thanks in advance

dm_date

DM_DATE(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation						DM_DATE(1)

NAME

       dm_date - print out the system date and time

SYNOPSIS

       This performs the same operation as the unix 'date' command, but using the Date::Manip module.

	  dm_date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]

DESCRIPTION

       This displays information about the current system time, or some other time. Options are:

       -h, --help
	   Print online help.

       -d STRING, --date=STRING
	   Display time described by STRING. STRING can be any string which can be parsed by Date::Manip.  Please refer to the Date::Manip::Date
	   documentation for details.

       -f DATEFILE, --file=DATEFILE
	   This reads each line in DATEFILE, and extracts a date from it and prints out the information.

	   Blank lines and lines starting with a pound (#) are ignored. Lines not containing a valid date are also ignored.

       -r FILE, --reference=FILE
	   Displays the last modification time of FILE.

       -R, --rfc-2822
	   Displayc the date and time in RFC 2822 format.

	   Example: Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:34:56 -0600

       -u, --utc, --universal
	   Converts the date to UT (GMT) and prints out the information.

       Only one of -d, -f, or -r should be included. If more than one is included, the first one from the list (-d, -f, -r) is used and any other
       is ignored.

       The format string starts with a plus (+) and contains any of the format directives described in Date::Manip::Date.

KNOWN BUGS

       None known.
