Question 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
