When I do the date +%Z I get the timezone. Which currently is EDT. I am sending information to another system, that says EDT is not a valid timezone. I have no way to modify the other system. My question is - is there a way to get the non-day-lite savings time zone ? For example EST is valid - EDT is not. Just curious if there is an easy way already present to get a standard time zone. Thanks, - I know weird situation the other end not supported EDT.

"man date" shows a few options:
%z +hhmm numeric time zone (e.g., -0400) %:z +hh:mm numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00) %::z +hh:mm:ss numeric time zone (e.g., -04:00:00)%:::z numeric time zone with : to necessary precision (e.g., -04,+05:30) %Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)
That is, perhaps the "other system" wants some kind of numeric representation. Without knowing the recipient app on that other system, this is just a guess.
