Does changing `-1 day` to `-1 second` give your desired output? – barbsan May 09 '19 at 07:51

If you type `date --help` you'll see manual, scroll to section **FORMAT** (Note that you have to use in command *your date command* `+"` *desired format* `"`) – barbsan May 09 '19 at 11:02

You need to pass another +format to date and replace the time with the 23:59:59. Something like this:
date -d "$(date +%Y-%m-01) -1 day" +"%a %b %d 23:59:59 %Z %Y"
And the output will be:
Tue Apr 30 23:59:59 -03 2019
Update: to have the last day of the previous month using the format YYYYMMDD, just change the last format string to '%Y%m%d'. Here is the full command:
date -d "$(date +%Y-%m-01) -1 day" +"%Y%m%d"
And here is the output:
20190430
