i m able to grep yesterday date...can u tell me how to grep 2 day ago and also 3 day ago and likewise in the same format in the above command
The point is we can achieve it by modifying the TZ variable.
If you need yesterday's date then we advance TZ by 24,similarly for 2 days ago advance TZ by 48 ...
For future dates,we ll reduce the TZ by the 24 for 1 day,48 for 2 days and so on..
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
$tmp="20090620231013";
$tmp = substr($tmp,0,8)." ".substr($tmp,8,2).":".substr($tmp,10,2).":".substr($tmp,12,2);
So my output is:
20090620 23:10:13.
I only can think substr is easy, any perl can do this just one line very simple efficient one? :eek:

yesterday
YESTERDAY(1) General Commands Manual YESTERDAY(1)
NAME
yesterday - print file names from the dump
SYNOPSIS
yesterday [ -c ] [ -date ] files ...
DESCRIPTION
Yesterday prints the names of the files from the most recent dump. Since dumps are done early in the morning, yesterday's files are really
in today's dump. For example, if today is March 17, 1992,
yesterday /adm/users
prints
/n/dump/1992/0317/adm/users
In fact, the implementation is to select the most recent dump in the current year, so the dump selected may not be from today.
With option -c, yesterday copies the dump file to the current directory.
The date option selects other day's dumps, with a format of 2, 4, 6, or 8 digits of the form dd, mmdd, yymmdd, or yyyymmdd.
Yesterday does not guarantee that the string it prints represents an existing file.
EXAMPLES
Back up to yesterday's MIPS binary of vc:
cd /mips/bin
yesterday -c vc
Temporarily back up to March 1's MIPS C library to see if a program runs correctly when loaded with it:
bind `{yesterday -0301 /mips/lib/libc.a} /mips/lib/libc.a
rm v.out
mk
v.out
FILES
/n/dump
SOURCE
/rc/bin/yesterday
SEE ALSO
fs(4)
BUGS
It's hard to use this command without singing.
