As expected?? Where did you get this --date='TZ=..." syntax?? Not anywhere I could find. --date=STRING Read the man page. STRING works like this: $ date Wed Jul 8 16:38:44 EDT 2015 $ date --date=Thursday Thu Jul 9 00:00:00 EDT 2015 $ date --date="last Monday" Mon Jul 6 00:00:00 EDT 2015 $ date --date="25 dec 2016" Sun Dec 25 00:00:00 EST 2016 $ --Ken Nellis -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
