If you have got GNU date and awk/gawk,

then you can get a backdate with the following command

Code:
 var=`date +%s`
awk -v var=${var} -v bdays=2 'BEGIN{print strftime("%d-%m-%Y",var-(86400*bdays))}'

output is 04-06-2007

To get 31 days back date

awk -v var=${var} -v bdays=31 'BEGIN{print strftime("%d-%m-%Y",var-(86400*bdays))}'

Not sure if strftime function is available in Solaris, if it is then this should work on solaris with nawk.
