Or even simpler: use "date +%d" instead of "date | awk '{print $3}'".=0A>=
=0A>Roland=0A=0AI could not get it to work until I changed the single quote=
s in the last -e expression to double quotes. (This either interactively u=

do that without the space at the end of the line because the trailing numbe=
