You will need to use C or perl or or ruby -- some language. bash, ksh, nawk and other standard utilities that come with Solaris do not "do dates" like the GNU coretuils do.

Here is a C example, someone else may post a perl example.
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc (C compiler) is part of the standard Solaris 10 && 11 install

Thanks
