shell script to get yesterday’s date into a variable
a shell script which does the following to store the current day’s date in a variable ‘dt’:
date “+%a %d/%m/%Y” | read dt
echo ${dt}
How would i go about getting yesterdays date into a variable?

On Linux, you can use
date -d “-1 days” +”%a %d/%m/%Y”
bdate=`date -d “-31 days” +”%Y%m%d”`
echo “$bdate”
