Solving for the Last Day of the Month
10:24 PM
This script solves for the last day of the month.
It can be used as logic to determine if a script should be run.
Here is an example cron entry where we evaluate if it is the last day of the month everyday at 23:59 and if it is run the accept_instance_count.sh script.
#!/bin/bash TODAY=`/bin/date +%d` TOMORROW=`/bin/date +%d -d "1 day" ` # See if tomorrow 's day is less than today' s if [ $TOMORROW -lt $TODAY ]; then exit 0 fi exit 1 |
