Script to set datetime localtime $TZ Variable

set_date_with_timezone.sh

# Adjust the number 2 to suit your needs, or use a different timezone like PDT 
export TZ=EST2EDT

# Get the current time from an internet site (clearly, not a reliable method) and store into file
wget "https://www.utctime.net/" -O curtime.txt && grep "td>UTC</td" curtime.txt|head -n 1|cut -f 4 -d '>'|cut -f 1 -d '<'|sed -e 's/T/ /g'|

# Remove the Z character (for me, on a weird Unix distro, this causes the date command issues)
sed -e 's/Z//g' > curtime_fmt.txt &&

# Take a few seconds, just in case, because some versions of wget theoretically(?) might not be blocking
sleep 3 &&

# Set time value from file
date -s "$(cat curtime_fmt.txt)"
