Thanks to all who responded so quickly.  It seems I'm not the only one with users who \
want to work during the crucial month-end processing.  

Many thans to:
Tom Coates
Dean Eich - who gave me a copy of a long script that I have yet to  try
and especially . . 
Stephen Hearn
Randy Groebner
Chris Vann

who all suggested the TZ command.  Stephen sent this little script:

if [ $(sh -c "TZ=$(date +%Z)-24; export TZ; date '+%d'") -eq 1 ] 

which changes the timezone so that the date comand will actually return the date of a \
country on the other side of the date line therby giving me an answer of 1 which \
would be the first day of next month.  Anytime this occurred, then today in MY \
timezone would be the last day of the month.  This will only work for those that have \
a timezon 1 day AHEAD not behind.

Thanks again for all of the help.

OK here's an easy one I can't seem to find:

Is there a format in the date cammand to return wether the current date is the last \
day of the month or not?

So far the only option I can come up with is:

date +%j

This returns a numerical value for the day of the year [001 - 366].  Then I could \
write an if . . then clause.  I was wondering if anyone knew of another way.

TIA.
