Try this...It works but I'm not 100% sure how....(educated guess as to how going on here)
my_date=`TZ=a12 date +%Y%m%d%H` (H gives you the hour for verification)
The 12 indicates how many hours behind GMT you want the time to be...
I use GMT + 12 as my timezone.....so to get 24 hours before this I need to go from +12 to -12....so I use a12.
If your timezone is GMT then a24 would do it. If you're 8 hours behind GMT then a32 would be used (8 behind and 1 more day).
I think GMT is used here as the systems default timezone where one is not specified. Therefore if your system TZ is different - you'll need to work that out and adjust accordingly.
