TZ is intended to be an unambigous specification of the time zone and daylight saving time rules. The timezone in the --date argument is just a UTC offset. The latter is a small part of the former. > Q2. Why is a warning not printed when an invalid $TZ is set? It's the tradition. Not a good answer, I realize, but at the C level, it's hard to tell whether TZ is valid. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
