Difference between GMT-5 and EST
Hi-
I have a sun system with the TZ set to GMT-5. The contents of my /etc/default/init file are:
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
When I change TZ to EST my results from date shows up correct. Also if I were to changed my TZ to GMT+5, my result would be correct. However, since I'm in Maryland,(GMT-5) and need to have the output of this command be GMT. Can someone explain how I can obtain the desired results with TZ set to GMT-5?
