Since it is Solaris -d option does'nt support.

Code:
bash-2.05$ date -d "45day" +"%a %b %d %Y"
date: illegal option -- d
usage:  date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
        date [-u] [+format]
        date -a [-]sss[.fff]

You can install GNU date somewhere, if it is not hiding in a dir somewhere or on the Solaris CD. I recall seeing a lot of GNU on Solaris installs, and I think it came from Sun. Or, you can compile my universal time 2 time tm2tm utility: https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...bsd-linux.html

These guys got it abusing $TZ: http://www.linuxmisc.com/12-unix-she...0675c78895.htm

C and JAVA date stuff is all in the core classes. Who would install PERL missing Date ! Put in a defect report? Maybe there are others, apparently many: The Many Dates and Times of Perl - Perl.com
