Thanks Cero.

What if that time is a variable. Say in the above example '10:14' is a variable, how can I pass it in the TZ command. I tried, but it gave an error message Smilie
Code:
$ x=$(date +%H:%M)
$ echo $x
10:40
$ TZ=UTC date -d '${x} EST' '+%Y%m%d %H:%M'
date: invalid date `${x} EST'

Appreciate your help.

TZ Specifies the timezone, unless overridden by command line parameters. If neither is specified, the setting from /etc/localtime is used. AUTHOR
