[olug] OLUG - Omaha Linux User Group: Third Thursday (fwd)

[Jeff Hinrichs]

Normally you'd set your cron job up to run each Thursday, then using
script foo, have your script decide if it was the 3rd Thursday or not
and take the appropriate action or inaction.

Can't answer much of this, but I can give you a list of dates... as long
as you don't mind ISO8601 formatting and some XML. Here's the list for
2006:

<dates><date>2006-01-19T00:00:00</date><date>2006-02-16T00:00:00</date><
date>2006-03-16T00:00:00</date><date>2006-04-20T00:00:00</date><date>200
6-05-18T00:00:00</date><date>2006-06-15T00:00:00</date><date>2006-07-20T
00:00:00</date><date>2006-08-17T00:00:00</date><date>2006-09-21T00:00:00
</date><date>2006-10-19T00:00:00</date><date>2006-11-16T00:00:00</date><
date>2006-12-21T00:00:00</date>
</dates>

Here's 2007:

<dates><date>2007-01-18T00:00:00</date><date>2007-02-15T00:00:00</date><
date>2007-03-15T00:00:00</date><date>2007-04-19T00:00:00</date><date>200
7-05-17T00:00:00</date><date>2007-06-21T00:00:00</date><date>2007-07-19T
00:00:00</date><date>2007-08-16T00:00:00</date><date>2007-09-20T00:00:00
</date><date>2007-10-18T00:00:00</date><date>2007-11-15T00:00:00</date><
date>2007-12-20T00:00:00</date>
</dates>

I'll be adding a post to my blog about the T-SQL query that gives me
this. I'd suspect that query would work with MySQL etc, or if your using
Perl, the venerable Date::Manip package should give you a hack around.

Cheers,
Kent
