A bit convoluted:
date -r $((`date '+%s'` - 86400))
but seems to work. ;-)
Not off topic ;-) I need to get last month from the date
MON=`date +"%m"`
((MON=$MON-1))
-bash: ((: MON=09: value too great for base (error token is "09")
So, do this
MON=`date +"10#%m"`
((MON=$MON-1))
echo $MON
8
How entertaining - bash treats the leading zero as an indicator of
octal.
Same would need to be done for any of the `date` formats that return
leading zero as part of the result.
