Michael -
There are a multitude of ways to do this.
i.e
TZ=PST8PDT+24 date "+%b %d %H:%m" | read var
var will be twenty four hours ago now.
In the above format, if you wish to time stamp a file then:
touch -t $var your_file_name

Or -

use $var to name the file with a time stamp extension.
The format of var can be changed in many ways by changing the date "+%" portion.

We are on the US West cost, so you TZ may not be PST etc, but it will work on your TZ setting as well.
And of course there is good old A.Clay's hammer.

Best of luck.
