date +%s ignores TZ

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


this is probably all correct behavior as it is right now (coreutils 6.9):

        $ date +%s
        1204311113
        $ TZ=GMT date +%s
        1204311113
        $ TZ=PDT date +%s
        1204311113

but is there actually a way to do

        $ TZ=anything date +%s -d "`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`";

without invoking date twice?


thanks,
Jan
