Time difference command in Sun sorlaris
Hi ,

I want to find out the time difference. If the system date and time is "Jul 18 05:39:00" EST then it should return "Jul 18 04:39:00". i.e one hour differnce in time. Pls help me out.

Other eg's : Jul 18 00:00:00 -> Jul 18 23:00:00
Jul 18 01:00:00 -> Jul 17 00:00:00

What operation do you want? date "subtraction"?
What you are showing us is ONE of the input operands if that is the case.

Code:
Jul 18 01:00:00  [minus something] = Jul 17 00:00:00  (probably 25 hours?)

What is the something? hours?

Please post your Operating System and version and what Shell you use.
Please post whether you have the GNU date command.


Please post sample input data (already done), a better description of the process, and expected matching output data.

get the environment variable TZ from change it.
for ex,
if the TZ is CST6CDT then do it as below.

Code:
--> echo $TZ
CST6CDT
--> TZ=CST5CDT
-->date

now it should give you the time reqd ..

i hope this would help a bit.
