I have a script which ftp some files which are created from our system
every day with the end of day procedure.A part of the script is the
following:

#File
FILE_NAME=AF$(date +"%d%m%y").txt

more AFBTF001* AFBTF003_B* AFBTF004* AFBTF04B* AFBTF030* AFBTF035*
AFBTF047* AFBTF065* AFBTFADM* AFBTF066* AFBTFBRN* AFBTFUSR* >
$FILE_NAME

ftp -n $FTP_HOST<<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $FTP_USER
quote PASS $FTP_PASSWD
ascii
prompt off
cd $REMOTE_DIR
put $FILE_NAME

The files AFBTF001* AFBTF003_B* AFBTF004* AFBTF04B* AFBTF030*
AFBTF035* AFBTF047* AFBTF065* AFBTFADM* AFBTF066* AFBTFBRN* AFBTFUSR*
may be created before midnight or after.

I want someone to help me how to change my script so that in case the
files are created after midnight, not to take the next day´s date.

Hi,

you should modify the TZ when you use the date command.

For example, I have TZ=NFT-1DFT, if I want to know what time it was 12 hours
before, I juste have to use the following :

supaix51:root:/ > echo `TZ=NFT+11DFT date`

Thu Nov 25 08:35:40 NFT 2004

supaix51:root:/ > date

Thu Nov 25 20:35:43 NFT 2004



In fact, you just play with TZ... If you want to go back in time for N
hours, just add N to the offset of your normal TZ.

Of course, it works until noon
