That should work for centuries, but not for general leap years. The process is it's a leap year if the year is exactly divisible by 4, unless it's a century where the year has to be eaxctly divisible by 100.
Either 'double-up' the tests, or do a bit more work and check for a century year beforehand, setting divisor to 400 or 4, depending on result, then use that to check the year.
Failing that, try:
Code:
if [ $(cal Feb $YY | tail -n +3 | wc -w) -eq 29 ]
then
echo "$YY is a leap year"
else
echo "$YY not a leap year"
fi
