Use this bash script to generate a quick timeline of events. It's basically a simple for loop that makes use of the 'date' command.
Here's some sample output:
./timelineGenerator.sh 4 Thursday Thursday June 02 2011 * Thursday June 09 2011 * Thursday June 16 2011 * Thursday June 23 2011 *
Here's the usage output:
./timelineGenerator.sh timelineGenerator.sh: Quickly prints a listing of dates so that you can make a quick timeline. For example, if you want to make a listing of project goals for yourself and you want the goals to be done by Friday of each week, and the project lasts 7 weeks, you'd do: ./timelineGenerator.sh 7 Friday Usage: ./timelineGenerator.sh numWeeks [endOfWeek] E.g., ./timelineGenerator.sh 4 E.g., ./timelineGenerator.sh 4 Friday
