This does seem to be a bit vague. Here is a useful tip and in this case I am using the korn shell. The idea here is to temporarily define the TZ environment variable; that is....
would define the TZ var for the execution of the date command...regardless of what the default TZ setting is.
By example...
This isn't a ksh feature, it is standard behavior required for any shell conforming to the POSIX standards or the Single UNIX Specifications. But, the format shown above is not correct. A valid setting for TZ will include at least the zone's name and offset from UTC. The normal setting for Texas in the United States would be TZ=CST6CDT (not TZ=CDT) and TZ=UTC happens to work because the offset from UTC to UTC is 0, but the output from the commands:
will be identical except for the difference in the time zone name. Compare the results above with:
where you'll see a 6 hour difference in time (this time of year) as well as a difference in the time zone name. The output from the above three commands should be something like:

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

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

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)
