Re: date -1 question

You can do this using the TZ environment variable.

e.g.
date
Thu 27 Jul 17:37:02 2006
echo $TZ
GMT0BST,M3.5.0/01,M10.5.0/02
ksh TZ=GMT24BST,M3.5.0/01,M10.5.0/02 date
Wed 26 Jul 17:38:00 2006

Check the archives if you need more suggestions: it's been discussed before.

Subject: date -1 question


I'm using smbclient in a script to get a file from a windows server share.
The format of the file is filenamemmddyy.txt so I'm using get filename`date
'+%m%d%y'`.txt but my problem is the file I want to get was created
yesterday.

So I'm wondering how get yesterdays file based on ctime or somehow 'date -1'
etc.?
