Getting time zone date command line linux
10,622
Solution 1
You can set the timezone just for the one call to the date
command (without changing the timezone that your system is set to) like so:
TZ=Asia/Calcutta date
Note the space before the date
command.
Solution 2
Maybe this is the wrong way, but try setting the time zone, then calling date, then unsetting the time zone.
export TZ=Asia/Calcutta
date
unset TZ
There's a small list here of the time zones: Link To Wikipedia.

I'm trying to use
$date -u
to get UTC time zone. It works fine but how can i set GTM to get a different time zone. For example, how can i complete that command to check GMT+5 or GMT+6 time zone in command line in Linux?Any idea how can i do it?
