Or subtract 3600 for each zone east....
Whatever that means.
Wouldn't it be preferable to compare between local time and UTC for the
period in question? On Linux, it's a matter of using date -u:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ date -u;date
Thu Mar 1 22:38:00 UTC 2007
Fri Mar 2 07:38:00 WST 2007
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
A shell script to report the difference would be pretty trivial, and not
require unlikely tools. I don't install a CD on everything. Do you?
