If you're going to use the gnu-date command, it'll do math like:

gdate --date="now - 1 day" +%m/%d/%Y

You can then use this to generate your date patterns for start & end time.

Hi 

I have found that most NetBackup commands have an undocmented -X option 
which allows the use of epoch time for start/end

if you have gnudate installed, you could use something like:

#!/bin/ksh
epochend=`gdate '+%s'`
echo $epochend-86400 | bc | read epochstart
bplist -X -s $epochstart -e $epochend

Regards
Michael
