I have another question related to this subject, I have found in this website : (unix.com/man-page/Linux/1/cal/ Man Page for cal) that I can use the command cal with these options :
...
But when I try it, I get the same message as you did (invalid option -- 'A') . I don't understand why
That documentation probably doesn't apply to your cal implemenation (it looks like the FreeBSD implementation). Those options are non-standard. Read your system's man cal instead.
It actually did work for me when I tried Jan, Feb, Nov and Dec.
That for-loop from post #2 won't work with those four months because, even if you wrap the months using modulo-12 arithmetic, the year is left unadjusted.
Yes, those 5! numbers represent the 5 months to be shown, i dont know which 5 months he wants.
Year is untouched, using the current, since i dont know which year he want to have shown either.
If you want to display the COMLPETE year 2042, your supposed to use:

Oh yeees, now I understand ! You're right, if I choose November for example, then in the two next months, I obviously have December and January of the SAME year, which isn't what I want :/ !
Thanks for highlighting this, I didn't pay attention to that !
Started to get fun on this so i prepared this to be used as executable file in either (on linux):
* ~/bin
* ~/.local/bin
* /bin
* /usr/bin
Then use like:
Shows: Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct
As it shows June 2014 with a range of 4 months, but only showing every 2nd.
The 3rd argument, to alter the range, is optional!
Default is 2.
4th argument could alter the steps it takes, 1 for each, 2 for every 2nd. etc.
Default is 1.
Shows April-August of 2022
Or even just:
For the same timerange of the current year.
I just want to know, how do we calculate the months in shell scripting.
If i give the input as 20-01-2011, the output should be 20-02-2011, 20-03-2011 or 20-04-2011........
How do i get this ?

I got this from this board yesterday
cal | xargs -n1 | tail -1 which displays the current months days.. for instance if you type this in a shell today you will get 31.
I would like to also display the month and year.. something like
March 2011 has 31 days.
how would I do that?

I am using AIX version 5.3
