Hello
I’m testing the script, but I’ve errors with the lines:

YESTERDAY=`date –date=”yesterday” +%Y-%m-%d` # 2008-11-13
YESTERDAY_DATE=`date –date=yesterday+%d` # 13
YESTERDAY_MONTH=`date –date=yesterday +%m` # 11
YESTERDAY_YEAR=`date –date=yesterday +%Y` # 2008

The error I’ve is by example:

mysystem# YESTERDAY=`date .date=.yesterday. +%Y-%m-%d` # 2008-11-13
date: extra operator `+%Y-%m-%d’
Try `date –help’ for mor information

I’ve tested it in : Ubuntu Linux 7.04

Thanks (and good work !!)
