Vladimir, Found this on the net (can't recall where though) for touching a file with yesterdays date.
touch `TZ=GB+24 date +%m%d%H%M%y` filename You'd need to change the GB to what is appropiate for you and change the format variables to the format you wish eg echo `TZ=GB+24 date +%y%m%d` to get 020714 yymmdd HTH Iain Nicoll -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, July 15, 2002 10:48 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Good morning / afternoon / evening... How to find yesterday's date in unix? Yes, I know how to find it by using env. variables, sql*plus, redirecting output and so on... But I need pure unix solution.
