Hi, I have a function to calculate "yesterday" in format YYYYMMDD:
Code:
desa_ev9 # date +"%Y%m%d" --date "-1 day 20180701"
20180630
desa_ev9 # date +"%Y%m%d" --date "-1 day 20180720"
20180719
desa_ev9 # date +"%Y%m%d" --date "-1 day 20190101"
20181231
desa_ev9 # date +"%Y%m%d" --date "-1 day 20180913"
20180912
Works correctly but....
Code:
desa_ev9 # date +"%Y%m%d" --date "-1 day 20180812"
date: invalid date `-1 day 20180812'
What is the problem?
