Re: [Wlug] Is there a simple Unix shell command to list dates backwards?

I can't offer any help, but I am curious what you are doing. Thanks, Bob On Jul 5, 2005, at 5:23 PM, douglas.r.aker@verizon.com wrote:

I'm looking for a standard Unix shell command that can list an arbitrary number of day dates backwards from today. For example, something like this:

$ unixcommand -7 Tuesday July 5 2005 Monday July 4 2005 Sunday July 3 2005 Saturday July 2 2005 Friday July 1 2005 Thursday June 30 2005 Wednesday June 29 2005

Command must transit months, years, leap-years, etc.

Does gcal, or any other Unix command, have this capability?

Thanks, Doug
