Sorry for previous version of this post. I sent it accidentally before I was finished. In Linux I was able to do this: date +%Y%m%d -d "-1 day
Which would give yesterdays date as 20050530 How can I do this in OpenBSD? I've mucked about with date -r $(expr $(date +%d) - 86400) but I can't get it to work properly. Cheers, Tim.
