I wrote this script to convert julian date into dd-mm-yyyy format. You could use this to get yesterday's date. You just have to get today's julian date (get this using `date +%j`) and subtract 1 from it. This will get you yesterday's julian date. Give this as the second argument to the script. The first argument is the present year in the YYYY format.
Note: I have changed the output so that it prints YYYYmmdd.
[edit]
Also this script will blindly convert whatever the julian date that is given to it. No error checking is done - so if you give the julian date as 0, the output you get for this year is 20050100
