Hi,

-->date
-->Mon Sep 29 19:31:58 EST 2008
-->export TZ=TMP40:00:00 (Changing the date beyond 40 hours)
-->Sun Sep 28 09:32:24 TMP 2008 (date changed back upto 34 Hours, even though i mentioned above as 40 hours)
-->export TZ=TMP90:00:00 (Changing the date beyond 90 hours)
-->Sun Sep 28 09:32:42 TMP 2008 (date changed back upto 34 Hours, even though i mentioned above as 90 hours).

So looking for date change command in linux (Linux melrhtest4.nmh-au 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:14 EST 2007 x86_64).
