- Subject: date function: how many days in october are there?
I've noticed that the date function does something strange trying to access October 31st in a statement like
$ date -d "1970-10-01 +1 month -1 day"
as opposed to something like
$ date -d "1970-11-01 -1 day"
which (I think??) should be functionally equivalent. The actual results of the 2nd are obviously preferrable to the 1st... but I do note something squirrly going on with the hours in both (daylight savings time?)
When I run date -d "$i-10-01 +1 month -1 day" I get
