This should be an easy one but I can't find the answer. I am not a programmer but I need the date function for last year in Bash. I have the following:

THISMONTH=$(date +%B)
THISDAY=$(date +%d)
LASTMONTH=$(date -d "-1 month" +%B)
THISYEAR=$(date +%Y)
LASTYEAR= ???

Cheers,

hi,

you're not a programmer, but you've got man pages too.

LastYear is like LastMonth.
