Greeting oh knowledgeable personages,

Is there a way to test for DST (day light savings time) on the empeg (MKIIa)?

Preferably in BASH script.


Thanks,

I think that the nearest you'll get without writing some (very simple) C code is date "+%z" which will give you the numeric timezone offset.

Of course, this depends on having TZ correctly set in your environment (which the player does not do, and neither does Hijack with its EXEC features).

Toby,

Thank you. I am a Linux newbie. And your input helps a great deal.

(I still need to work through a BASH script tutor.)

Thanks again,
