In a unix shell, how to get yesterday's date into a variable?

If you have Perl available (and your date doesn't have nice features like yesterday), you can use:

pax> date
Thu Aug 18 19:29:49 XYZ 2010

pax> dt=$(perl -e 'use POSIX;print strftime "%d/%m/%Y%",localtime time-86400;')

pax> echo $dt
17/08/2010

# printf '%(%Y-%m-%d)T\n' yesterday
2015-09-02
# printf '%(%Y-%m-%d)T\n' '5 days ago'
2015-08-29

I think this should work, irrespective of how often and when you run it ...

date -d "yesterday 13:00" '+%Y-%m-%d'

Several solutions suggested here assume GNU coreutils being present on the system. The following should work on Solaris:

TZ=GMT+24 date +’%Y/%m/%d’
