Your timezone is not determined by your locale setting. What does the following command output:
It's not set. However the file /etc/timezone contains the string Europe/London; the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London links to ../GB, ie /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB.
Or, more succinctly, I am using the default system timezone, which was set to Europe/London when I installed this system.
I know there are some posts on getting the time with milliseconds included and I realize unix may not be the best on this.
I have seem some posts where its advised to install the GNU date.
Any one know where I can download this as I am struggling to find it.

Should work in any shell, but requires GNU date, although GNU date seems only to be happy for input dates between 1902 and 2037, inclusive (49673 days).
Assume $a and $b hold two dates, e.g.
set a=2010-03-27
set b=2010-04-04
Marginally faster:

Dear all,
This should be simple but I cannot figure it out despite reading all the man pages. Could someone please help me translate this code (GNU date) to one that can be read by BSD date?:
myDate=$(date -d "$h -$l days" +%Y/%m/%d),
where h is a variable of the form DD/MM/YYYY, and l is... (3 Replies)
It's easy as pie to get the date minus one day on opensolaris:
date -d "-1 day" +"%Y%m%d"run this command on our crappy Solaris 10 machines however (which I'm guessing doesn't have GNU date running on it) and you get:

Dear all,
I have 2 questions.
I have a file with many rows which has date of the format YYYYMMDD.
1. I need to change the date to that weeks friday date(Ex: 20120716(monday) to 20120720). Satuday/Sunday has to be changed to next week friday date too.

Why is the result of this command off (or less) by one hour
date --date "1979-10-26 +54 hours" +%Y%m%d%H
The result is
1979102805
It actually should be
1979102806
It does it with adding minutes as well and only occurs on Oct. 26, from what I can tell. What's going on here? (9 Replies)

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
