You have a history of vague posts.
Please post your precise Operating System and version and what Shell you are running.
Please also post the reasoning behind this question and what you are trying to achieve. i.e. please give us the problem not the solution.

if you have perl and Date::Manip module is installed, then try this

Code:
 
#!/bin/perl
use Date::Manip;
$date = UnixDate(Date_GetPrev("today","mon",0),"%Y-%m-%d");
print $date;
$date = UnixDate(Date_GetNext("today","mon",0),"%Y-%m-%d");
print $date;
