Hello,
I am trying to run a bash script in cron. I originally wanted
it to run at 11:59pm on the last day of every month. February
will always cause problems because of leap years. Therefore,
I decided to run cron on the first day of every month using
the @month parameter.
The problem is that I want the month to reflect the previous month.
MON=$((`date +%m`-1))
This will work for every month except January where instead of getting 12
I get 0. 2 questions
1) How can I modify the above line so that if `date *%m`-1 = 0 then MON=12
2) I want the output to be 01-09 and not 1-9. How can I change the format
to add a zero? +%m usually adds a zero but subtracting 1 causes the 0
to be removed.
Lance
