Here is one way:
#!/usr/bin/sh
_day=`date +%d`
_month=`date +%m`
_year=`date +%y`
newday=`expr $_day - 2`
echo "Two days ago was $_month/$newday/$_year "
I know the GNU date provides an easier way, but this is more portable...
your to_char function is up to you :P

radsqlrelay
RADSQLRELAY(8) FreeRADIUS helper program RADSQLRELAY(8)
NAME
radsqlrelay - relay SQL queries to a central database server
SYNOPSIS
radsqlrelay [-?] [-d sql_driver] [-b database] [-f file] [-h host] [-u user] [-P port] [-p password] [-1] [-x] file_path
DESCRIPTION
radsqlrelay tails a SQL logfile and forwards the queries to a database server. Used to replicate accounting records to one (central) data-
base, even if the database has extended downtime.
The SQL logfile is created by the rlm_sql_log module. The module must be configured in the radiusd server before you can use radsqlrelay.
OPTIONS
-? Print usage help information.
-d sql_driver
Driver to use: mysql, pg, oracle.
-b database
Name of the database to use.
-f file
Read password from file, instead of command line.
-h host
Connect to host.
-u user
User for login.
-P port
Port number to use for connection.
-p password
Password to use when connecting to server.
-1 One-shot mode: push the file to database and exit.
-x Turn on debugging.
file_path
The pathname of the SQL logfile to use.
NOTES
Oracle driver
The command "radsqlrelay -d oracle -b db.domain.tld sql-relay" reads the database description stored in $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora:
db.domain.tld =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db.domain.tld)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = <DB SID>)
)
)
