Message-ID: <716EA16C9FD24A4CBE13D1A01AAF3747@cit.wayne.edu> (raw)

Aren't standard TZ names contained in the /usr/share/zoneinfo structure? In 
that directory I see posix/Europe/Monaco. So I set:

$ export TZ=Europe/Monaco
$ date
16:46:08 CEST; Tuesday, June 14, 2011
$ export TZ=America/Detroit
$ date
10:46:48 EDT; Tuesday, June 14, 2011

Except for this using my homegrown format for date I think this works (and 
personally I rather like my invention... :-).
