Dear Maintainer,
Just trying to figure out what the first, second, third days are of a month.
So for August 2017:
August 2017
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 _2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27 28 29 30 31
This is relative to: Wed Aug 2 17:33:10 EDT 2017
If do:
date -d 'first monday', I get: Mon Aug 7 00:00:00 EDT 2017
date -d 'second monday', I get: Mon Aug 7 00:00:01 EDT 2017
date -d 'third monday', I get: Mon Aug 21 00:00:00 EDT 2017
date -d 'fourth monday', I get: Mon Aug 28 00:00:00 EDT 2017
date -d 'fifth monday', I get: Mon Sep 4 00:00:00 EDT 2017
So I'm a bit confused, if it's relative from the day, I could unstand the
first Monday being the 7th, but the second Monday should be the 14th. If it
is inside the month, then this doesn't make any sense because the 7th is the
first Monday of the month, and 14th the second. What am I missing?
