It doesn't always give yestday's date.
eg. TZ=XXX-24 gives tomorrow's (not yesterday) date/time if you are in
England.
If you want your own time zone, replace the [-][0-9]* with the value +24
hours (yes, a "+" value)
eg. if EST5EDT, use TZ=xxx29
eg. if JST-9, use TZ=xxx15
If you want daylight savings time, append the 'dst' info to the TZ variable.
(see man environment)
