A few days ago I changed my CentOS box's timezone to -07:00.
Now the date commands output look like this (run almost simultaneously, less than 1 second delay)..
The hours difference seems correct, but why is the UTC time 25 seconds ahead?
I always thought that those two commands should only differ by the timezone (and daylight saving if applicable).
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to convert a number representing time in UTC seconds to a date. Ex:
3BE0082C --> Oct 31 2001 15:31:08
I have tried the following perl command but it gives a different answer?
$ perl -e 'print scalar localtime(shift), "\n"' 3BE00B2C
Thu Jan 1 03:00:03 1970
Any ideas? Thanks. :) (10 Replies)
Hello,
Using AIX6.1 box.
I have UTC time value and need to convert it to local time value - I mean time zone and DST should be taken into consideration.
I hope it could be done using shell environment - I don't want to write a program.
thanks
Vilius

Is it possible to enable the time service in local zones?
E.g.

Okay, so let's say we have a string like:
20110105_193345
This represents:
January 5th, 2011 = 20110105
24-hour style time 19:33:45 = 193345
Okay, so we have our time. It's January 5th, 2011 at 19:33:45. I want to convert this time from Eastern Time Zone (which it currently is in)... (1 Reply)
Hello AIX friends,
We have timezone settings on our AIX 6.1 boxes set to Europe/London.

LEARN ABOUT PHP
date_default_timezone_get
DATE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_GET(3) 1 DATE_DEFAULT_TIMEZONE_GET(3)date_default_timezone_get - Gets the default timezone used by all date/time functions in a script
SYNOPSIS
string date_default_timezone_get (void )
DESCRIPTION
In order of preference, this function returns the default timezone by:
o Reading the timezone set using the date_default_timezone_set(3) function (if any)
o Prior to PHP 5.4.0
only: Reading the $TZ environment variable (if non empty)
o Reading the value of the date.timezone ini option (if set)
o Prior to PHP 5.4.0
only: Querying the host operating system (if supported and allowed by the OS). This uses an algorithm that has to guess the time-
zone. This is by no means going to work correctly for every situation. A warning is shown when this stage is reached. Do not rely
on it to be guessed correctly, and set date.timezone to the correct timezone instead.
If none of the above succeed, date_default_timezone_get will return a default timezone of UTC.
RETURN VALUES
Returns a string.

EXAMPLES
Example #1
Getting the default timezone
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
if (date_default_timezone_get()) {
echo 'date_default_timezone_set: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . '<br />';
}
if (ini_get('date.timezone')) {
echo 'date.timezone: ' . ini_get('date.timezone');
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
date_default_timezone_set: Europe/London
date.timezone: Europe/London
Example #2
Getting the abbreviation of a timezone
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
echo date_default_timezone_get() . ' => ' . date('e') . ' => ' . date('T');
?>
The above example will output:
America/Los_Angeles => America/Los_Angeles => PST
