Does /usr/sfw/bin on your solaris box have gdate or date?
And. If you cannot change anything at why are you asking for something that implies some kind of code change?
This works on solaris10 and solaris11 - We use it in lots of scripts.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# usage /path/to/then.pl 7 for date seven days ago
# /path/to/then.pl 1 for yesterday
ago()
{
perl -e ' my $delta = $ARGV[0];
$delta*=86400;
$delta=time - $delta;
@t=localtime( $delta );
printf("%02d-%02d-%d", $t[4]+1, $t[3], $t[5]+1900); ' $1
}
echo $(ago $1)
Hello, using date, we can easily get today's date
$ date +%y-%m-%d
06-12-08
is it possible for me to get yesterday's date using 'date', if not, is there any quick and easy way to do that?
Thanks! (1 Reply)
I am not using GNU nor BSD. On AIX, how do you return yesterday in the format of i.e. "May 09" with a space.
# `TZ=y380 date +%h""%d`
>> May09
# `TZ=y380 date +%h" "%d`
>> May
I appreciate your help in advance.

rmdel
rmdel(1) General Commands Manual rmdel(1)NAME
rmdel - remove a delta from an SCCS file
SYNOPSIS
SID file ...
DESCRIPTION
The command removes the delta specified by the SID from each named SCCS file. The delta to be removed must be the newest (most recent)
delta in its branch in the delta chain of each named SCCS file. In addition, the SID specified must be that of a version being edited for
the purpose of making a delta (i.e., if a p-file (see get(1)) exists for the named SCCS file, the SID specified must appear in any entry of
the p-file).
If a directory is named, behaves as though each file in the directory were specified as a named file, except that non-SCCS files (last com-
ponent of the path name does not begin with and unreadable files are silently ignored. If a name of is given, the standard input is read;
each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file or directory to be processed; non-SCCS files and unreadable files
are silently ignored. When is specified on the command line, all following arguments are treated as file names.
The permissions to remove a delta are either (1) if you make a delta you can remove it; or (2) if you own the file and directory you can
remove a delta.
