I can help with yesterday's date...
These lines, in a script, will give you yesterday's date. I assume you'd
want to make them a function in a script.
save_TZ=$TZ
TZ=`date +%Z+24`
export TZ
yesterday=`date +%d%m%Y`
echo $yesterday
TZ=$save_TZ
export TZ
Function in a script:
#####################
YESTERDAY ()
#####################
{
save_TZ=$TZ
TZ=`date +%Z+24`
export TZ
yesterday=`date +%d%m%Y`
echo $yesterday
TZ=$save_TZ
export TZ
}
YESTERDAY

Subject: Where to find gnu date binary !!!! Urgent Please !!!!
Greetings,
IBM RS6000 AIX 4.3.3
1. I need to get Yesterday's date, I tried
(TZ=EST5+30; date) gives me Mon Aug 19 09:07:35 2002
where as the date is Tue Aug 20 11:07:38 EDT 2002, time is 2 hours
behind.
How to get the actual time based upon DST. We are in NY.
2. I need the gnu date binary for the AI X 4.3.3 version. I couldn't
find the binary in the bull site.
I don't have a compiler so I am looking for the binary.
Regards & Thanks
BN
