Thanks!

it means it will work on for 11th and 12th month also right..

if [ "$month" -le "10" ] ; then
pmonth=0`echo $month`
else
pmonth=`echo $month`

@ajju,
when value of
Code:
$m

is 04(4th month), then value of
Code:
$month

will be 3 with following expression.
Code:
month=`expr "$m" - 1`

Below codes are used for obtaining output as 03(as per your requirement) . And used from 2nd month to 10th month ,
Code:
if [ "$month" -le "10" ] ; then
pmonth=0`echo $month`

And for 11th and 12th month , below codes are used
Code:
else
pmonth=`echo $month`

You can force a leading zero (when necessary) with the following:-
Code:
typeset -Z2 pmonth

You also have more coding than you need. Instead of:-
Code:
pmonth=`echo $month`

.... you just need:-
Code:
pmonth=$month

I hope that this neatens things for you.

Or you use printf:
Code:
for i in $(seq 1 12); do printf "%02d\n" $i; done
