First, why did you change LC_ALL in RudiC's suggestion to

Code:

CL_ALL

?

Second, why did you change:

Code:

+"%-m/%-d/%y %I:%M %p"

to:

Code:

+"%-m/%-d/%y/ %I:%M %p"

? Do you really want to print a <slash> character after the year in your output?

Third, telling us that you use bash does not tell us whether or not the date utility on your operating system supports a -d option that will behave this way. The date -d option on my system does not behave this way on the system I'm using so I can't verify this, but I would think you want something more like:

Code:

LC_ALL=C date -d"$Input +1 hour" '+%-m/%-d/%y %I:%M %p'

Fourth, the test operator for string comparison is =, not -eq (which is for numeric comparisons) and, even if it did work, your test would only work when daylight saving time is not in effect. Maybe:

Code:

if [ $CT -eq "EST" ]; then

would come closer to doing what you want if you used:

Code:

if [ "$CT" = "EST" ] || [ "$CT" = "EDT" ]; then

unless you live in some parts of Indiana.
