Hello All,

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the Micronet 
nodelist/infopack bash script.

So what I had to do was get the current day number of the current year:
DOY=$(date +%j)

Then, I had to get the last two digits of the day number:
DOY1=`echo "${DOY-2)}"`
(the backticks tell bash to run this as a command and store the output in the 
variable)

Here's where I screwed up.  I didn't perform the correct arithmetic (sp?) on 
the variable.  This is what I wound up doing to get the last Friday's DOY:
OLDDOY=`echo $((DOY1 - 8 ))`

Seems bash is like REXX in that no variable is typed and treated as a string 
unless you tell it otherwise.

That seemed to have fixed the problem.

Later,
Sean
