Could this help you ?
Code:
TZ=GMT date -d '20010101 01:01:01 -0102'

It takes the date 20010101 01:01:01 and ADD 1 hour and 2 minutes. It's more a hack but it can be used for simple date manipulation.

# TZ=GMT-1 date

I'm not sure this syntax is portable but it helps modifying variables only for the following command. It works in bash and ksh
It's been part of posix sh for quite a long while, so I would think it's safe to use.

My condolences to those forced to use shells which haven't implemented a common idiom standardized decades ago. Smilie
