Yesterdays Date/Date Arithmetic

Here are some other threads.... Date function question This thread has a perl solution, an adb solution, and an early script written by me. Getting yesterday DATE The last post in this thread mentions altering the TZ variable. I don't think this is very portable nor general, but it is an interesting option. Subtracting Two months from date This thread mentions the advanced options available with the GNU date command. date manipulation This thread has another perl solution. Date Logic Whoa... This thread has one post that suggests using a database. Date calculation script Here is another shell script. get yesterday in yyyymmdd format Review of some of above techniques by folks who didn't read this FAQ.
