paixdb02(supprd) /home/odsapp
==> date --date="1 days ago"
date: illegal option -- -
Usage: date [-u] [+Field Descriptors]

echo $MYVAR

Code:
First print today's date:
$ date
Sun Jun 17 12:17:24 CDT 2007

Now display Yesterday's date:
$ date --date="1 days ago"
OR try:
$ date --date="yesterday"
Sat Jun 16 12:17:20 CDT 2007

Now display Tomorrow's date:
$ date --date="-1 days ago"

Or better try:
$ date --date="next day"
$ date --date='2 year ago' # past
$ date --date='3 years' # go into future
$ date --date='2 days' # future
$ date --date='1 month ago' # past
$ date --date='2 months' # future
$ date --date='this Friday'
$ date --date='2 months ago 5 day ago'
