Hello

The implementation of date in linux has a -d flag to present yesterdays
date.

For instance

# date +"%Y-%m-%d"
2007-07-02
# date +"%Y-%m-%d" -d yesterday
2007-07-01

Is there something similar for tru64 ?? as it doesn't seem to support the -d
flag

Try this:

#!/bin/ksh -vx

localtime=$(date +%H)
utc=$(date -u +%H)

offset=$(($utc - $localtime))
today=$(TZ="EST${offset}EDT${offset}" date)

offset=$(($offset + 24))
yesterday=$(TZ="EST+${offset}EDT+${offset}" date)
