The read + temporary file trick should work in either shell I think, but "<<<" definitely won't.
You should ask your prof which shell you're supposed to be using, since solaris #!/bin/sh is especially painful.
You should also be very grateful that you have GNU date.

Hi I need to subtract one day from date1=`/bin/date +%d`
So I used
date=`/usr/ucb/expr $date1 - 1`
The only thing is if date1 is a single digit like 08, date will be 8 instead of 08.
How can I avoid losing 0?

lmfsetup
lmfsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lmfsetup(8) Name lmfsetup - License Management Facility PAK registration script Syntax /etc/lmfsetup [ template ] Description The script allows you to register data supplied by a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The script prompts you for the data associated with each of the fields on a PAK. When all the data has been entered, the License Management Facility (LMF) ensures there are entries against all the mandatory fields, and that the Checksum validates all the license data. If the data has been entered correctly, the PAK is regis- tered in the License Database. If the data has been entered incorrectly, the appropriate error message is displayed and you are given the opportunity to re-enter the data. The template option allows you to register license data from templates in A template containing a partially complete PAK is created by some products as part of their installation process. The script only prompts you for data on the fields that are empty in the template. If the script cannot find the specified template in it searches the current directory. The script is provided as an alternative to the command. This displays a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an editor so that you can add the license data to the appropriate field. The command also allows errors to be corrected without having to re- enter all the data. See Also lmf(8) Guide to Software Licensing lmfsetup(8)
