Yesterday in UNIX
Hi,
I want to set a cron job with the yesterday date in a unix server (solaris).
- I tried TZ=CST+24 date +%Y%m%d but i had TZ=CST+24: not found
- I tried `perl -mPOSIX -e 'print POSIX::strftime("%Y%m%d",localtime(time() - 86400)) '` it works but I'm not sure that all the clients have perl in their machines.
- date -v and date -d don't work only -u and -a options work with date in unix:
date: illegal option -- d
usage: date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
date [-u] [+format]
date -a [-]sss[.fff]
Anyone has an idea please.
Thanks
