Hello Mike,
I wrote a script on my Solaris 2.6 box at work that looks something like
this:
#!/usr/bin/sh
TODAY=`date +%y%m%d`
echo $TODAY
echo "---"
YESTERDAY=`echo $TODAY | awk -F"/" '{print "1 day ago " $1 "/" $2 "/" $3 -
1}'`
echo $YESTERDAY
###END
You could always use the '--' operand to decrement vice "$3 - 1"
