you need to add your offset as well as the time you want to go back.

Example, I am currently on CDT, my offset is +5, if you want date to display 24 hours ago, you would do the following:

Code:
$ date
Fri Sep  5 18:53:34 CDT 2008

$ y=`TZ=$TZ+29 date`
$ echo $y
Thu Sep 4 18:54:02 US/Central 2008

What timezone are you in?
