Function: string Unix2PST_PDT(integer unixtime);

Returns a string containing the SLT date and time, annotated with PST or PDT as appropriate, corresponding to the given Unix time.

e.g. Wed 2013-12-25 06:48 PST

• integer unixtime a point in time represented by the number of seconds since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 UTC, e.g. a value returned by llGetUnixTime()

Specification

// Convert Unix Time to SLT, identifying whether it is currently PST or PDT (i.e. Daylight Saving aware)
// Omei Qunhua December 2013

list weekdays = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"];

string Unix2PST_PDT(integer insecs)
{
    string str = Convert(insecs - (3600 * 8) );   // PST is 8 hours behind GMT
    if (llGetSubString(str, -3, -1) == "PDT")     // if the result indicates Daylight Saving Time ...
        str = Convert(insecs - (3600 * 7) );      // ... Recompute at 1 hour later
    return str;
}

// This leap year test is correct for all years from 1901 to 2099 and hence is quite adequate for Unix Time computations
integer LeapYear(integer year)
{
    return !(year & 3);
}

integer DaysPerMonth(integer year, integer month)
{
    if (month == 2)      return 28 + LeapYear(year);

}

    integer LastSunday = days - DayOfWeek;
    string PST_PDT = " PST";                  // start by assuming Pacific Standard Time
    // Up to 2006, PDT is from the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October
    // After 2006, PDT is from the 2nd Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November
    if (years > 2006 && month == 3  && LastSunday >  7)     PST_PDT = " PDT";
    if (month > 3)                                          PST_PDT = " PDT";
    if (month > 10)                                         PST_PDT = " PST";
