Re: date command two days from now

I would use perl,

perl -e ' $string=localtime( time()+48*3600),print
"$string \n"'
Thu Jan 25 18:52:05 2007

Is there a way to get the date from say two days
from now or two hours from
now for scripting purposes?

I mean like:

date +"%d %h %y" gives you 23 Jan 07

But I want

23 Jan 07

Or instead of "Tuesday" I'm looking for "Thursday".


Any ideas?

Thanks,
