Changing the date to EST
Hi,
The unix box has a system date in the PDT time zone format..if i need to capture the value of the date in a variable id do this: orderdate=`date '+%Y%m%d'` ordertime=`date '+%H%M%S'` output : $orderdate= 20060714 $ordertime= 043438 I need to convert and store this orderdate and ordertime to EST format.Is there any functions that let me get the EST timezone value instead of jst adding 3 hours??? |

The environment variable TZ can be used to change the timezone temporarily
I'm assuming you are in the Pacific timezone (TZ="PST8PDT") in this code snippet: Code:
#!/bin/ksh oldTZ="$TZ" export TZ="EST5EDT" orderdate=`date '+%Y%m%d'` ordertime=`date '+%H%M%S'` export TZ="$oldTZ" |
