HP-UX 11 date

[bursucu]

Hello,
how do I calculate the yesterday date as so when month is changing not to have day 30 or 29 or 27?

thanks

Hi,

whatever you want to accomplish, guess you may find help there.

Clay's Script allows you calculate Julian date which is suitable for a "daily sequencing" purpose (which I assume is what you want).

hi

perl -le 'print scalar localtime time -86400'

Adapted from the thread on running cron job at the end of the month:

TZ=XYZ+24 date

(it's the +24 which is important, saying that the local time is in a zone 24 hours ahead of GMT.)

Thank You very much it worked fine.
