https://bbs.archlinux.org – It does not look like timezone issue because of '-u' option for 'date'. From "man date" (GNU coreutils 8.5 February 2011):%W     week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)However I get:date -u +%W00Good thatinfo coreutils 'date invocation'has valuable addition:Days in a new year preceding the first Monday are  in week zero.So, it registration does not calculate correct week number. They probably do not use posted expression, or their tool uses is of different version. Probably this issue happens only at the beginni (HowTos)

ISO week for date command 46 weeks 5 days ago

Hi Guys,

I came across the %V switch in the date command which displays the ISO week number, with Monday as first day of week (01..53).

for Saturday, Jun 30 2012, the % V option comes up as 26. I've tried to read up on this but i'm unable to comprehend how this value is calculated.

Is it that Saturday is assigned the value 26 ? Please advise

Cheers.

I am using the following to find the Day of the Week on my server which is in UTC.

Code: DAY=$(date --date="yesterday" +'%A') But say if I want to find the Day of the Week in another timezone, how would one go about it. I had a look at date --help but could not find any timezone related switches so am not sure if this is possible using this method.

Thanks & Regards,
