The command I executed was run on OpenBSD:

$ uname -a
OpenBSD XXX 6.3 GENERIC.MP#107 amd64

$ /bin/date -d 'now -1 day' '+%Y_%m_%d'

$ /bin/date -d 'yesterday' '+%Y_%m_%d'
2018_04_09

I don't know when it was imported into BSD's date, but this extension is
available on OpenBSD, at least in 6.3...

There is a -d option, but it does not do what you expect. What
date is it now? Try other values than -1

Hi,

You can use this form, which is a little simpler:

      date -d 'now -1 day' '+%Y_%m_%d'

Nope, this is a GNU extension.

Hi Max,

this works for me:

date -r $(( $(date +%s) - 1 * 24 * 60 * 60 )) +%Y_%m_%d


Best regards

Hi guys,
How can I do to get yesterday's date?
I need for create a backup directory.
On Linux:
yesterday=backup_$(date -d "yesterday" '+%Y_%m_%d')
mkdir -p /raid1/backup/$yesterday

Thanks for reply.
