Package: date Severity: important Tags: l10n I need to view on the CLI the time in various timezones.
I have correctly configured the time and timezone to the best of my knowledge. I use this command: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata && ntpdate pool.ntp.org && hwclock --systohc --utc I get this output: Current default time zone: 'America/Chicago' Local time is now: Tue Apr 16 14:45:29 CDT 2013. Universal Time is now: Tue Apr 16 19:45:29 UTC 2013. 16 Apr 19:45:38 ntpdate[12036]: adjust time server 199.102.46.73 offset -0.036668 sec I have searched for the "right" way to complete my task, and found a link here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/display-different-timezones-in-command-line-927660/ That link recommends that I complete my task using a command like this one: TZ=UTC date && TZ=CDT date && TZ=IST date However, I get this output, which is obviously not what it should be: Tue Apr 16 19:45:39 UTC 2013 Tue Apr 16 19:45:39 CDT 2013 Tue Apr 16 19:45:39 IST 2013 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
