If you have ksh93 version h (released 1999) or later you can use the amazingly useful, but very poorly documented, %T operator to find specific dates easily

To print the date for the last day of last month do
Code:
$ printf "%(%Y-%m-%d)T\n" "final day last month"
2008-02-29
$

The %T format can also be invoked as %(subformat)T where subformat is any format that can be handled by the date(1) command.
