hey all,
I was wondering if it was possible to get the julian date with the cal command.
I know that the "-j" option will display it, however, i need the Julian Date of a specific date, in number.
For example, the User would enter their age like
19800101 or YYYMMDD, like so. This info is essentially $1.
The farthest I have gotten is,
cal $month $year -j
This will display the julian date numbers for the entire month, however i need it only for the $day parameter which is entered by the user.
cal does not manipulate the day parameter however,
any help would be greatly appreciated.
