In OSX, /bin/date doesn't support the -d switch

But it does have the -r switch. ;-)

To pick
the date, I use

    DAY="$(date -d "-$1 day" +%F)"

The -d switch allows me to subtract days (or minutes or seconds) from
today's date.

Is there a way to subtract n days from a date using the OSX date utility?

Something like this?

date -r `date +%s-n*24*60*60|bc` +%F
