I'm trying to create a script (ksh) that reads a log file created yesterday.  The log files are created with `date +%a` appended to the end of the log file name.  Last night a log file was created called arc_indexlog.Tue  It's easy enough to get today    TDAY="`date +%a`"    grep -i "ora" /orasrv/ops/maint/logs/arc_indexlog.$TDAY    grep -i "ora" /orasrv/ops/maint/logs/adv_indexlog.$TDAY but how do I get yesterday in the same format? (i.e., Tue instead of Wed)   I man'd date, but it was no help.
