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.
