Hi,

In 1994, I tested with TZ offsets of 720 hours.  This was on an SVR4 Unix from Unisys, for an application where they wanted to test reminder generation within the app.

I would set and export TZ, then start a shell, and run the application inside it.

(On some systems, setting TZ to "GMT-48" may do what HB wants.)

Hi,

I have a testing requirement which needs to alter the system date to a couple of days ahead of current date. I am wondering if its possible to have a custom timezone which can provide this date change ability to drift the current time to couple of days ahead by setting the TZ environment variable.

Regards,
