Hello,

a little script like this:

# we retrieve the date as parameters of the script
day=$1
month=$2
year=$3
one=0
max_month=$[month-1]
# we retrieve the duration of the months before the date
for mc in $(seq 1 1 $max_month)
do

u=$(cal $mc $year | awk ' NF!=0 {toto=$(NF) } END{print toto}')
one=$[one+u]
done

unitary=$[one+day]
echo $unitary

a check is missing to avoid executing the loop if we are in January.
