It should be safe. All my mail servers run GMT to prevent log confusion (ie: It's a given that any log time is always GMT).


Be very, very careful.

$ export TZ=right/GMT
$ date -r $((915148821 )) +%Y%m%d 19981231
$ date -r $((915148821-86400)) +%Y%m%d
19981231

There is probably a Perl module around that can handle this sort of
calculation in a more robust manner.
