Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Retun yesterday's date on HP-UX Post 302508564 by ctsgnb on Monday 28th of March 2011 12:40:46 PM
Old 03-28-2011
Code:
TZ=$(($TZ +24)) date +%Y%m%d

but to avoid offset pb :

Code:
Uday=`TZ=GMT date +%d` Uhr=`TZ=GMT date +%H` Lday=`date +%d` Lhr=`date +%H` 

if [ $Lday = $Uday ]; then
Offset=`expr $Uhr - $Lhr` else Offset=`expr $Uhr + 24 - $Lhr` fi 

Diff=`expr 24 + $Offset`
echo -n "yesterday was " TZ=GMT+$Diff date +%Y-%m-%d 

Diff=`expr 24 - $Offset`
echo -n "tomorrow will be " TZ=GMT-$Diff date +%Y-%m-%d

of course this is to be adapted depending on your plateform, but the main logic is here.

Otherwise, you can just get & install the GNU date everywhere Smilie
