Because people keep thinking that the "EST" in my `date` command must be incorrect...
#!/bin/bash
function dotz () {
while read i ; do
export TZ=$(echo $i | awk -F' ' '{print $3}')
OFFSET=$(date +%z)
TLA=$(date +%Z)
echo -e "$OFFSET\t$TLA\t$TZ" >> foo
done
}
grep -v "^#" /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab > tz.list
dotz < tz.list
sort -k2 foo > timezones
See results at http://www.cheeky.house.cx/~nemo/extras/timezones
First columns is time offset, third column is the $TZ environment variable. The Second column is the time zone identifier, incorrectly assumed by most people to be unique. I can't find an RFC on it though :(
